We're called to go. We're called to sow. The Lord is the one who causes the seed to grow. Will you go and sow, trusting the Lord for the results? Nothing is more important than the souls of men.
When I began to share the gospel with two young men this morning, Dustin and Wesley, Dustin walked off. My heart went out to him. Wesley, however, waited to hear the gospel message. He listened. He responded honestly. He had questions that caused him to doubt. I addressed his questions, assuring him there is ample evidence to justify the reasonableness of our faith in Jesus Christ, and gave him some examples. He then got down to the heart of it--he wasn't ready to repent and make a decision to follow Jesus with his life. I urged him to repent and trust Christ for salvation before it's too late. As the Apostle Paul said, in Colossians 1, we are to warn everyone and teach everyone that we may present everyone mature in Christ. Wesley has been warned, and Jesus was lifted up as a great, merciful Savior. I pray the seeds sown today will spring up into a great harvest for the Lord.
A friend decided to follow us as we shared the gospel today. Jesus said, "Follow me and I will teach you how to fish for men" (Matt. 4:19; Mark 1:17). She followed as we fished in order to learn. As we talked afterward about what she observed, tears came to her eyes as she mentioned how many people are walking aimlessly in life without the Savior, heading to an eternity in hell. Her heart broke for the harvest. Will yours?
