WITNESSING

Missionary labor & personal work are the outstanding demonstrations of love.

As in the case of the patient in one of our hospitals in India, who inquired of the doctor how long she would live. When he said: "3 months if you stay in the hospital," she wanted to know how long if she did not stay.

The answer was: "2 or 3 weeks & you will suffer much."

Whereupon she said: "I am going home, I must tell my people about Jesus."

And she went & she did it.

That was sheer foolishness from the point of view of those who are selfish, but it was a real illustration of what a mighty love for God & for our neighbors the Holy Spirit supplies.

Mark 5:19 (NLT): But Jesus said, “No, go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been.”

“There are no easy steps to witnessing! No painless, unembarrassing methods! You must bring men to see that they are filthy sinners under the wrath of God who must flee to Christ for mercy. That is offensive. And there is no way to coat it with honey.” -  Walter J. Chantry.
