Wake the faith up

 

In the movie the Sixth Sense, a line from that move became famous in and of itself. It was in fact… you know it -say it with me “I see dead people”. 

what if I told you I see dead people… no really, I am being 100% serious. Every day I see dead people.

 

A Parent tells you what you love hear

A Teacher tells you what you have to hear

A politician tells you what you want to hear.

A Leader tells you what you need to hear

A Christ follower Tells everyone what God wants them to hear in and through the power of Christ

 

When you talk to someone what is your motivation? 

Look we all remember being younger and taking to that cute guy or girl… there was a hidden motivation. Talking nicely to the teacher hoping to influence our grade… talking sweetly to our Father hoping to get a nod that we can go to that party, use the car or go on that trip. 

How about when you don’t know someone… and you choose to talk to them… what is your motivation?

I saw a TV show that played a practical joke on people coming out of a supermarket… a Mom would be carrying her baby in a baby seat and walking out to her car with a grocery cart, talking on the phone distracted. She would pretend to be frazzled and load up her groceries and get in her car leaving her child in the carrier on roof of her car… then she would start the car and start to pull out of the parking lot… people would run, yell, scream and literally jump in front of this car… They had to get this woman’s attention… they had to tell her something… what was the motivation?

To save a life.

They didn’t know her, they didn’t know the baby.

They didn’t care if it was a nice car or a piece of crap. They didn’t care if she was white, black, tan, blue or green. They didn’t care if she was trans, bi, try or tree… not sure what tree is- They didn’t care if she was the same religion or a cult or a an atheist… 

They just wanted to save a life. 

Look there are multiple motivations to share Christ…

We get a reward

We are obedient

We see others in heaven

We give them eternal life 

But ultimately the person running to the car is thinking only one thing… Save a LIFE! 

1 Cor. 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

 

Perishing.. GK those that are being destroyed. i.e. death is certain… you are dying, you will die.

 

hey are are all wondering what it takes to have the courage to tell people about Christ… There are people we see and wonder why they aren’t embarrassed to share Christ, why they would share to someone who is so obviously anti Jesus… Why? why share? What is the motivation… yeah I think we know. They see a person ready to die. 

Listen to Pauls heart here in Romans 9:1-4 

9 With Christ as my witness, I speak with utter truthfulness. My conscience and the Holy Spirit confirm it. 2 My heart is filled with bitter sorrow and unending grief 3 for my people, my Jewish brothers and sisters. I would be willing to be forever cursed—cut off from Christ!—if that would save them. 

What a powerful voice Paul puts to the gospel. I gotta ask myself… am I willing to die so that others may know Jesus… that is my prayer. But it goes beyond just a martyr’s death… it means dying daily to my fears, wants, desires, excuses… it means being willing to see dead people - and knowing its my job to bring them back to life. thats my prayer for you today… and thats my prayer for me today.

Keep slaying giants.
