Have you ever wondered why people wont listen too you when you speak about Jesus, well lets think a little.
1. You say you have God, but so do Muslims, the Hindu and every other religion under the sun, so what is it that you have that they do not ??
2. You say you have the truth, but so do they. They have teachers and scribes, just like you, so what is it that you have that they do not.
3. You go to church, ( some don’t ), so do they, they all have their temples, their worship places, what ever or wherever they may be, so again, what is it that you have that they do not.
4. You say you have the bible and that it is the word of God, they would say the same about their books, so again what is it you have,
5. Is it prayer, but they all pray, some more then you so there is no difference there.
6. The Holy Spirit maybe, but again they all have their spirits that work for them and guide them so again, what makes you different.
Actually by now you may see they have no reason to listen to you, because what it is that you are lacking but should have is Jesus, and I don’t just mean the knowledge of, but actually knowing Him and letting Him change you, so that people can see Him in you so that they have reason to listen. You see we are supposed to conform to His image, the Image of Christ, to do His will, to speak what He has to say, and to do the things that He asks you to do, not because it is written in the bible but because you are being led by the spirit, the spirit of truth, who will teach and guide you into all the truth.
Now when you have this, they will listen, not because you carry a bible or even know it by heart, but because you will be taught through experience, and you will show them Christ, His love, His compassion, but also they will see the excitement in you that shows when you speak of Him, and they will see you are different, and they will listen. Now they may walk away without any change, but with Christ a seed is sown, and who knows when Jesus will water and reap from that seed.
