Evangelism—is it really that important?
The word "evangelism" comes from the Greek word for gospel (euangelion) which means "good news." In the Bible, Jesus tells a parable (Luke 14) about a man hosting a dinner and instructing his servant to tell those who had been invited to come because everything was ready for them. But, one by one, they all came up with excuses for why they couldn't come! The man was angry and told the servant to invite those on the streets of the city. When there was still more room, the man said to invite even those on the outskirts of the city. These were the rejected ones, the poor, the blind, the lame, and the crippled.
The man says to the servant to COMPEL them to come in, so that his house may be FULL. God desires all people to be saved, and He's entrusted US with the task to share the good news and bring people into His Kingdom!
One preacher said, "The devil is more after souls than many Christians are." But we can change that! 💥 Let's say "YES" to Jesus's call to be His hands and feet in this broken world. How is God challenging you to spread His good news?? We'd love to hear your thoughts, DM us or comment below!
