The Good news: tell it

The first thing Andrew did was to find his brother Simon and tell him, “We have found the Messiah” (that is, the Christ).And he brought him to Jesus. ~1 John:41-42


When Andrew finds Jesus the first thing he did was to his find his brother Simeon Peter and bring him to Jesus.   What’s the first thing that we do when we find Jesus or learn something new about Him?  Do we go and find our brother or sister and bring them to Jesus?  Do we share the good news of the Father?  Do we share the gospel?

I don’t.  I tell others who already know, but God wants us ( me) to tell those who don’t know.   Our brothers and sisters out there in the world.  The good news is not meant to be kept to ourselves.  It is to be shared.  So who am I bringing to Jesus?

Lord, I thank You for those that brought me to you.  Forgive me for not being diligent in bringing my brother or sister to You.  May I be a bold witness as I share the goodness of who You are.   Help me to see the opportunities you set before me to do so.  In Jesus name.  Amen
