I was recently preaching at an evangelistic men’s function in Michigan where I was able to share the Gospel with a large number of unsaved men. One of the greatest blessings of the night however, came on the way home as the pastor drove me back to where I was staying. In the midst of talking theology and the importance of evangelism, he simply made a comment about what a privilege to simply have the opportunity to tell people about Jesus. I believe this with all my heart, but there was something about the passion, yet simplicity with which he said this, as well as other comments on the rest of the trip home. I found myself challenged by this man’s love for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Have you ever been around someone who’s Gospel light just seems to shine so brightly? Their passion for souls and the glory of God occupy conversations, and you walk away just thankful that God would ever allow you the privilege of telling others the Good News. I believe I went to Michigan with a burden and truly excited to share the Gospel, but came away with a real challenge to enjoy every second of it—for the great privilege it is to be an ambassador for Christ.
