RELEASED TO TELL OTHERS (PART 3)

Witnessing on the Bus

Sara liked her life. She liked serving Christ. She just needed to find a way to tell others about Him; and, she finally found a way during her commute to and from work.
“On the bus, in the morning, on my way to work, and in the evening on my way home, I would witness to two or three people,” she explained. “In the middle of the bus is a big, long rail dividing the men from the women. I would be on one side witnessing to a woman, but the men across the rail would be listening. They would be very interested.”

Courage to Share Christ

Sara is well aware of the risk. Being a nominal Christian in Iran is one thing, but evangelising is another—an invitation for persecution. Still, Sara said, “I cannot not share Christ with others. I must tell them what released me from spiritual bondage.”
Sara knows that finding Christ happened because her sister dared to share with her. So, she knows how important it is to tell others about the good news. She courageously follows in the steps of the apostle Paul, who wrote:
“Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison – that I may make it clear, which is how I ought to speak.” (Colossians 4:2-4).

Taking Jesus Everywhere

Wherever we go, we take Jesus with us. In what we say; in how we act; in how we pray. May we be courageous in sharing Him with others. May we be faithful in praying for courage for our fellow believers.
