“For Zion’s sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.”-Isaiah 62:1
This verse from Isaiah simply talks of Isaiah’s determination to keep preaching until God’s Will be done :). We need to have the same determination when it comes to sharing the Gospel!
Oswald Smith was a missionary in the 1800’s. He once said, “Oh, to realize that souls, precious, never dying souls are perishing all around us, going out in darkness and despair, eternally lost.”. It make one think, because if we really focused on the consequences of not knowing Jesus, we would not hesitate to share the Gospel 🙂
We, all of us, are sometimes afraid that when we share the Gospel, the one we share the Gospel with – may react badly. And because we want others to be happy, we hesitate. But when we really consider the Truth, when we truly consider the Consequences they will face if they do not accept Jesus as their Savior and follow Him, then it becomes easier to be brave. But remember, that while Christ calls upon us to share the Good News, it is not up to us whether they believe it 🙂
“Then said I, Ah, Lord God! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child. But the Lord said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak. Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the Lord.”-Jeremiah 1:6-8
