What's Stopping You?

     Jesus. Son of God. Prince of Peace. Wonderful Counselor. 100% man. 100% God. Creator.

 

     He pursued you and I relentlessly and passionately. Jesus desires our hearts SO much that He was willing and did die a brutal death for us. And this Jesus, my Jesus, did not stay dead. Three days after dying He walked out of the grave! This is a big deal, what other dude do you know that woke up after being dead for three days?

     After Jesus' resurrection He spoke with some of His disciples(IN PERSON). The last words He had to say were important. These words still are. They did not just apply to His disciples then, but His disciples now. So listen up church:

 

 

"Jesus came and told his disciples, "I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."

 

Matthew 28:18-20 (NLT)

 

     Jesus is commanding you and I to go to the ends of the earth. To family, to friends, to neighbors, and to co-workers. He is calling us to tell these people about the goodness of Himself. That they can live forever in Him. This is the best news anyone could ever hear!

 

     But what's stopping you? What's stopping me? Why are we being cowards? What am I waiting for? What have I got to lose? Nothing because Jesus has already won the victory over death, hell, and the grave.

 

     Church, ask yourself today "What is stopping me from sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ everyday I have breath?" Be bold and proclaim His name today! Get pumped and sell out for Jesus!
