REACH THE LOST
By Pastor Tim Hodge
Several days back our sister, Jackie Lineman, asked me if I would help a family out. I asked how and she went on to tell me of an extended family member’s mom passing away and they needed someone to do the funeral. I didn’t skip a beat. I said, “Yes!”
I’m the guy who many would say I don’t need to add anything more to my plate. So why would I dare do that exact thing? Doing a funeral isn’t simply showing up at funeral time. Well, not if you do it for my reasons. If it’s just an obligatory gesture to do a ritual then yes, the minister can ‘just show up.’ However, my intent wasn’t to ‘just show up.’ My intent was to sow some seed of THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST into people’s lives.
Hours and hours of preparation to create a setting for people to sit in with some sense of being at ease; dropping their guard. Then, I break the WORD open and reveal JESUS. Plant some seed.
Why? Because I knew there would be LOST people who don’t know JESUS in that funeral. Yes, I wanted to celebrate the deceased person’s life. Yes, I wanted to comfort the family and friends. Above all, I seized an opportunity to SHARE JESUS. Never underestimate the power of a seed. Things like this is what we do to REACH THE LOST.
Your turn. What can you do to REACH THE LOST?
