The evening seem to go well and a number of people gave their lives to Jesus. All broadcast to 97% of the globe (if you believe the spin) courtesy of God TV. Now, it’s not the event itself that I want to talk about, although that may be a subject for future posts, but instead something which J John said to us in the leaders meeting before hand.
He was talking about how everyone should be involved in evangelism but how we are not all evangelists. I have herd this before of course but it has never really made a great deal of sense to me. I have always understood that we are not all evangelists but how do the two go together.
The analogy he used has certainly made things clearer to me so I thought I would share it here.
He likened your average Jo Christian to a witness in a legal case. It is our job to provide evidence of Christ to people around us through what we say and how we live our lives. It is the evangelist’s job to be a lawyer; to bring all the evidence together and to sum up the case.
I really liked this description and am going to explore a little further what affect that might have on me and on the people around me.
