This is It

Luke 7 says, And he said to them in reply, “Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, the poor have the good news proclaimed to them.

Here’s the place in the bible where simple evangelism (sharing the Good News of Jesus) is described in the most basic of terms, in the easiest of instructions.

Go.  We have to move, to seek, to find those who haven’t heard yet.  In other words, we need to be out among those with whom we work, those we smile at in the park, and those we greet in the restaurants, etc.

Tell.  It doesn’t have to be a sermon, some eloquent speech, or even a long planned out lecture – it just has to be your own stuff – what you’ve seen and heard – how you were set free – how you were healed – all of that personal freedom you’ve experienced.

Hear. You can’t have a story to tell if you haven’t heard anything to tell.  Continue to hear the Word preached, to hear the Spirit speak to your heart, to hear the good news of others, to hear of His goodness in their lives.

That’s it.
