Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
James 4:14

Friends we never know what tomorrow holds. This very fact reminds me that waiting to share the gospel with someone makes no sense. Think about it you may never get to see that person again. Then if they haven't chosen Jesus Christ as their savior well you know where they will go. For Jesus said , " I am the way, the truth, and the life,and none may come to the Father except through me( John 14:6 )."Friends for me this weighs on my mind and encourages me to be willing to share to all who will listen. Sure not everyone you will tell will listen or choose Him, but friends at least you shared. For the Word tells that straight is the gate and narrow is the way and few will find it( Matthew 7:14 ). God has not ordained us to determine how many will accept or pick and choose who we ask, all He asks is for us to share the gospel to all. Friends think about it, like I've said many times there is nothing to be ashamed of in the gospel. Another thing to consider is why not tell someone, didn't someone share it with you. I can't say it enough,but I am so thankful someone was willing to tell me about it.
Remember friends Jesus could return at anytime to take us home, why wait to tell someone about Him. From what we know about the tribulation period through scripture it is not going to be a good time to be around. With that in mind how could you want someone to endure that? Friends as Christians we should have such compassion in our lives for the lost that we share the gospel as much as possible. Don't wait tell someone, there are many who are sick with the disease of sin and need the cure, Jesus Christ.
For anyone reading this tonight who has not accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and personal savior I invite you to do so. Ask Him into your heart and admit your a sinner in need of His forgiveness. Be real with Him and cast all your worries, doubts, and fears at His feet, the feet of mercy( 1 Peter 5:7 ). Repent of your old ways and instead find your identity in Jesus Christ( 2 Corinthians 5:17 ). Don't let your past or not being perfect get in the way( Psalm 103:12, Romans 3:23 ). He is waiting on you with arms wide open( John 3:16 ). In those arms you will find love( John 15:13 ), mercy( Romans 5:6-8 ), forgiveness( 1 John 1:9 ), and a grace that is sufficient( 2 Corinthians 12:9 ). Will you choose Him? Will you let Him set you free from the bonds of sin( John 8:36 )? I encourage you to do so. This is the single greatest choice you will make. It is a matter of life and death( John 3:18 ). Don't wait , make the choice tonight( Matthew 24:36 )!
God bless,
John W. Whybrew III <><
