How obligated are you?

 

 A thought occurred to me the other day whilst praying; "How obligated are you to tell people about Jesus?"

What an odd thought to come to mind. But then, I thought, Jesus told us to tell everyone about Him.

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20

Of course, we can't all be preachers, pastors or priests. And if we go around telling everyone about Jesus we may be doing more harm than good. At best, people will humour us politely; at worst we could be switching them off altogether about Christianity.

Yet, that said, we can always witness to what God has done for us every now and then when writing on social media. A visit to the doctor which turned out better than expected perhaps, or some good news from family or friends, all these are examples that God was/is by our side whenever we need Him most. Surely a cause to celebrate with others; and to encourage them perhaps to find out more about this God we claim to love so much.

A mention every now and then goes a long way.

Let Jesus read about Himself on your Blogs and social media.
