Share Jesus Where You Are

“Go into the world and preach the good news to all creation.”
- Mark 16:15

Serving God means to help spread the gospel through personal ministry. Christians are told to go preach the gospel to the world and to all of God’s followers in Mark 16:15. Everyone who commits their life to Christ commits to work for the salvation of their fellow man. They commit to walk onto the battlefield each and every day and fight.

Jesus told his disciples to go into the world, telling everyone how He had paid the penalty for sin, so that those who believe in Him can be forgiven for all their sins and can live eternally with God. We are disciples of Christ. We are all over the world spreading the word to people who have not even heard His name. It’s through faith where we are sent out onto the battlefield and by determination that we live to be a disciple for Christ.

Answer this question in your head. Do you feel like you are not capable of being a witness for Christ, due to either lack of knowledge, skill, or determination for Him? You must realize that Jesus rose from that dead and lives for us today. He is a part of you. As we continue to grow in our relationship with Christ we begin to realize that he gives us opportunities to go out and serve Him. We all have the strength to go out and tell his message because Christ is with us.

There is a lady named Sohpie “the scrubwoman.” Her testimony is simple. She says that God called her to go out and scrub and preach. Her sermons do not happen from a podium or pulpit, but from a washtub or a scrub brush. She cleans for a living but also preaches while she is on the job. People call her to clean but she will not clean until they listen to her preach the gospel first. She says, “No preach, no work.” It’s that plain and simple. People hire her because she does really great work and she is trustworthy. They also get to hear her share the gospel. By her standards, if you are not preaching then you are not working. Sophie says the God is the best employment office. Why? Because you don’t have to pay or wait for him; you are always first in line.

Questions:
Back to what it said in the devotion; you feel like you are capable of being a witness for Christ? Why?
Do you think people keep hiring Sophie just because she does good work? If you hired her, what questions would you like her to help answer?
How can you go out into the world and be like Sophie? What would you like to do? Who would you like to help?
