We need to live hot for Christ! We need to speak to the people about Jesus!

 

Please let me speak to the people. 

~Acts 21:39

We need to live hot for Christ! We need to speak to the people about Jesus! We are called to be disciples for Christ. Helping to bring as many people to Him and Heaven that we can. We need to share His good news, we need to preach the Gospel as it says in Mark. We are called! Called to speak to God's people. To share the love of Christ to the world. To let others know that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life and He is the only way to get to Heaven! 

Our Daily Bread today spoke on all of this and said, "Paul had gone to the temple for the Jewish purification ceremony (Acts 21:26). But some agitators who thought he’d been teaching against the Law sought to take his life (v. 31). Roman soldiers quickly got involved and arrested Paul, bound him, and carried him from the temple area—with the mob shouting, “Get rid of him!” (v. 36). How did the apostle react to this threat? He asked the troops’ commander if he could “speak to the people” (v. 39). When the Roman leader granted permission, Paul, bleeding and bruised, turned to the angry crowd and shared his faith in Jesus (22:1-16). That was two thousand years ago—an old Bible story that we might find hard to relate to. More recently, a man named Peter was arrested while visiting a jailed friend who believes in Jesus in a country where believers are regularly persecuted. Peter was tossed into a dark prison cell and blindfolded during interrogations. When the blindfold was removed, he saw four soldiers with guns pointed at him. Peter’s response? He saw it as “a perfect . . . opportunity to share his faith.” Paul and this modern-day Peter point out a hard, vital truth. Even if God allows us to experience tough times—even persecution—our task remains: “Preach the gospel” (Mark 16:15). He will be with us and will give us the wisdom and power to share our faith."

People can judge you or say you are a Jesus freak, so what? Who cares? What is more important your salvation or living and dying just for this world which only brings death. We need to be disciples,  apostles for Christ. We are called to serve God while here. To count our blessing, give thanks, praise Him, give Him all the glory, pray to Him, serve and love Him. We are called to speak to His people! 

We cannot live cold or lukewarm lives for Christ, we need to live hot for Him! We need to know that He is our salvation and only way to Heaven, it is very important. Nothing of this world is as important than to live in Spirit for Christ and making getting into Heaven, for life eternal with Jesus our number one priority in life! This is truly what is most important. We need to live hot in Christ!
