Go!

Mathew 28: 19
19 “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…”

Did you know that statistics indicate, that over 68% of Christians have not told anyone how to be a Christian, in the last year?
Startling, especially when this was direct command given by Jesus Himself.

And yet, 80% of all church goers, who attend church at least once a month, think it’s their responsibility to make disciples.
So I wonder why most followers of Jesus, don’t?

As crazy as this sounds, I felt the Holy Spirit, remind me this morning about the story of the little red hen.
YES…I believe the Holy Spirit gave me that story.

The little red hen planted the seeds…cut the wheat…took the wheat to the mill…and baked the bread.
Everyone showed up when it was time to eat the bread, but when it came to doing the hard work, no one had time.
The sounds a little like church, doesn’t it?

We’ll go to a Bible study…or attend church once in a while..but please don’t ask me to share the Gospel.
We all want to go to Heaven, but as it has to do with getting the lost to Heaven, that’s really someone else’s job.

Are you like the little red hen, or would you say you’re more like the “lazy dog”, “sleepy cat”, or “noisy yellow duck”?
Are you the kind of person who just as soon delve into the bread of life, but aren’t willing to share it?

Are you willing to “go”, out of your way to tell the lost about Jesus?

We can do that, as we “go” about our everyday lives…
