Did you know the average person hears the story of Jesus 7-8 times before they put their trust
in Him? It is important for us to remember that our role in representing Jesus is to simply tell
others the Good News of Jesus. We can’t save anyone. That is the work of the Holy Spirit to
draw people to God for His forgiveness and gift of eternal life.
You’re only responsible to share the Good News with them.
And just like you, that person will have lots of questions about how to be a Christian. That’s
why Jesus told us, “Go make disciples…”
What’s a disciple? Basically, it’s a life-long follower of Jesus. You are one and so am I. A man
in the Bible who loved the Lord, Paul, told his friend Timothy, “Imitate me as I imitate Christ.”
That basically explains being a disciple. You imitate older Christians and Jesus, and someone
will imitate you. And you will grow together, just like we are growing together.
Do you have questions about how to follow Jesus? Maybe there is a certain area you’re having
trouble with…that’s ok! I am here to help, and more than anyone—so is Jesus. Let me know.
