who are you bringing to Jesus?


Yesterday I shared a message with our church about the people who brought their friend to Jesus.  They had to cut a hole in the roof of a house to get him to Jesus.  And that one act, bringing their friend to Jesus, changed so many things.


In the message I asked two questions.  These might be very good questions for you to answer and to think about a little deeper…


Who brought you to Jesus?


Who are you bringing to Jesus?


We all need Jesus.  First it is salvation.  That changes us forever and ever.  But we also need Jesus every day.


It might be that we can bring people to Jesus when they are struggling, when they need healing, or when we need a dose of hope and help.  Jesus is the one who gives what we can’t give, and what He gives last a lot longer than anything we can give.


Think of the reasons you would bring people to Jesus.  It ought to be many reasons.  And praise God that He gave us His son to come to.


1 Peter 5:7  NLT  

Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.


Psalms 103:3  NLT  

He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases.


Isaiah 43:25  NIV  

I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.


Matthew 11:28  NLT  

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.


Proverbs 8:34  NIV  

Blessed are those who listen to me, watching daily at my doors, waiting at my doorway.


That is just a few reasons to bring people Jesus.  That is just a few reasons to come to Jesus ourselves.


Some people come to Jesus on their own, but so many need someone to guide them, to love someone enough to bring them to the one who really can make a difference.


Who are you bringing to Jesus today?

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns.  One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns.  When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her.  Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns.  Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved.  Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?"  Beverly said, "Why yes I do."  Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

  John 13:4-5,14 NLT  So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow.  He served.  He valued and gave value to others.  That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet.  It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives.  Jesus said we should do this.  See the verse above.  Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
