Who Did You Last Tell?

Who Did You Last Tell?

Let's say your friend is dying from a deadly illness. It just so happened that two years ago you received the same bleak and crushing news from your doctor. The same diagnosis in the same part of your body. Through your research you came across a cure in Sweden or Switzerland or Swaziland and it was no hoax. You were cured 100%. Today as you read this you are enjoying a clean bill of health. Now you have just heard the news about your friend.

What are you going to do? Even if she isn't your friend; maybe she's just an acquaintance or a friend of one of your friends. Or maybe you just saw the story in the news and it touched your heart. What are you going to do? What ARE you going to do? The answer is so obvious. You are going to do all in your power to contact the person and share your amazing story.

Here's the bottom line: a deadly disease can only take your friend to the cemetery. Something far worse will take your friend to Hell. Sin is the worst diagnosis of all. And you will be talking to someone today who has it.

What are you going to do? Keep it totally secret? It's almost criminal not to tell the person.

Can you imagine what would happen if you and all your friends took this seriously - and if I did too? The results would be overwhelmingly amazing. Oh, you may not see immediate results. The person you tell will want to do their own research. Your friend will tuck your story away in her memory bank. When her sin flares up or if she starts thinking about God later - even months or years from now - guess what story will be retrieved from her memory bank? Yours!! The remedy that worked for you.

Come and hear,

all you who fear God,

and I will tell what he has done for my soul.

(Psalm 66:16)

Never in the history of Christianity have Christians had so many venues to be able to tell their story. We communicate in so many different ways, forums, venues through various technologies. Are we communicating the CURE? Who did you last tell? You don't need to preach a huge sermon. Simply say:

"Well, I will tell you what God did for me..I used to be plagued by guilt and fear. I had no peace. I worried about the afterlife. I found out that Christ was the remedy for my darkness. When I trusted Him as my Saviour - He brought light to my darkness. He gave me peace."

If she asks for more - you can tell her more. But start off with something short, respectful, relevant and simple. Give her the basics. Let her know that Christ was your cure.

But you can also share the remedy by posting online comments to stories in the news. Thousands of people read the comments that are posted to news stories. Register, log-in and post your brief comments and include a Gospel verse or a link to a Gospel website or a link to an online Bible. If every reader of this Bible Bite posted one Gospel tidbit to an online story today - hundreds of thousands would be exposed to the cure just today.

You are responsible to 'tell' people. St. Francis of Assisi said centuries ago: "Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words."

Walk carefully and closely with the Lord today.

Warmly in Christ
