Tell Somebody
You ever watch a movie or a tv show and just had to tell somebody how good it was ? Sure you have ! What about that concert you went to…wasn’t it worth the cost of admission and the crowds, and for days after, you were still talkin about the performance ? What about that wedding you attended ? You go on and on about how pretty the bride was and how crazy that best man acted on the dance floor. Let a local kill a big buck and see what attention they get … or some friend that catches big fish regularly…they’ll get talked about every time we turn around. We’ll brag on our favorite teams, especially the individuals that make big plays … but when it comes to Jesus, we’ll shut up tighter than a clam. Oh sure…we’ll smile and be polite at church…mumble “amen” when the mood hits us…maybe even tell the preacher “good job” as we head out the door…but that’s about it … till next Sunday … oh wait … that’s the day we were gonna ( you fill in the blank ). Somewhere along the way, we’ve lost our desire, our zeal, our want-to for the ONE SOMEBODY that can rock our world ! We either AINT SAVED, or we’ve forgotten what SALVATION means ! My relationship with my wife is the best thing that’s ever happened to me…second only to my salvation through faith in Christ ! How could i not bring her into my conversations with others ? I count it a privilege to be seen with her…to be able to hang out with her…to wear the ring that tells the world that I’m married to her…to hold her door open for her…to protect her… to hold her hand and meet her needs… and to see her smile when I’ve done something that pleases her. How could i not brag on her ?! And she doesn’t even have the ability to save my soul or create a new man outta the old me !! Jesus said, in ( Matthew 10:28,32-33 ), “ Don’t be afraid of them that can kill the body…Be afraid of the One that can destroy both body and soul in Hell. Whoever acknowledges Me before men, I will also acknowledge before My Father in Heaven. But whoever disowns Me before men, I will disown before My Father in Heaven.” So … are you ashamed to let people know you’re a Christian ? If so, there’s a high probability that you ain’t ( a Christian ) . Seriously… if you’re “disowning” Him here on earth, what makes you think you’re ever gonna get “in” to His kingdom ?! If i treated Miss Pennye Jacobs Lewis the way some o yall treat Jesus, she’d o’ kicked me to the curb a long time ago . Loving Him oughta make us wanna tell somebody about Him ! Won’t you ACKNOWLEDGE HIM with me today !?!
