Go and Tell

Acts 4:20
We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard. (NLT)

It was the big High School game. You were in the finals and against all odds, your team won the game. Wow, were you excited. Everywhere you went for the next week or more you could not help but tell everyone what had happened.

Heck, most get real excited when "our" professional team wins and they are getting paid to do just that. We even pay big bucks for tickets to the games. And yet, we still get excited as though we were on that team, too.

When a big event occurs in our life we usually tell others about it. Sometimes it is good news and other times it is bad news. We want others to rejoice with us or to join us in our misery. But, we tell about it.

Then we hear the gospel message at some point in our life and accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Do we tell others? Some do, especially at first depending on the experience. Then like most we head to church on Sunday morning and live our lives each day without telling anyone about our experience.

Oh, we may tell our Christian friends a thing or two. We may even get up and testify at a church meeting. But, do we talk about Jesus at work like we talk about the big game?

Isn't it time we told others what our relationship with Jesus has done in our lives? After all, that is what He commanded us to do in the Great Commision. We are to GO and TELL.
