Observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you
"Preach the gospel to every creature" Mark 16:15 "Teaching them to observe all that I commanded you" Matt. 28:20.
What had He commanded them? "Preach the gospel to every creature." Now isn't that simply profound and profoundly simple? Most of the time, new Christians are the most fervent about trying to get their family and friends to Christ. Remember how Jesus said to the one healed, "Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you" Mark 5:19.
One girl I had the joy of leading a 13 year old girl to Christ. In the next four months we saw over thirty of her family come to Christ because of her witness to them and bringing them to church. Now that should be the normal thing to happen.
A common occurrence In the thirteen years that I pastored, almost every person we saw accept Christ, was concerned about their loved one and friends getting saved too. That just makes sense. What is the most important thing that ever happened to you? Getting saved, of course. What then is the most important thing you can do for someone else? Why getting the gospel to them and see them saved too. Doesn't that make sense? Let's teach new Christians the joy of sharing the gospel before they lose that wonder of it all.
Prayer: Father, bless your children who get saved and may they bring their friends and family to Christ too. In Jesus name YOU are loved by God and me, ABC, sumner
