WHY MUST WE WITNESS/EVANGELIZE?
PART 7
SO THAT WE DON'T BEAR THEIR BLOOD
- Ezekiel 3:17-18 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman over the house of Israel; ... give them warning from Me: When I say to the wicked, 'You shall surely die', & you don't warn them, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his inquity; but HIS BLOOD I WILL REQUIRE AT YOUR HAND."
- Some years ago an evangelist friend was going to see a patient at Kenyatta National Hospital. After dropping off at the hospital bus stop and heading to the hospital gate he heard a voice telling him to go back to the busy & crowded bus stop and witness to a young lady seated at the waiting shades. He didn't find it an ideal place to witness. After resisting for a while he finally approached the lady. Though he pleaded with her for some time, she brushed him with statements like: "look at me properly, do I look like the type who needs to be born again? I'm still young & need to enjoy life now. Please look for old people to convert..." The man walked off in shame as the crowd giggled at him. However, less than ten minutes later he heard screams from the bus stop. It was the girl. As she was rushing in her high heels to board a bus that was leaving she had slipped and fallen. Her head was crushed by the bus and she died instantly! Now the urgency of the message he had delivered to the lady dawned on the evangelist brother! God had known that the young lady's time was up. Ezek.33:11 says that God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that they may turn away from their ways. Had the brother refused to witness, the blood of this young lady would have been required at his hands!
- Therefore, by witnessing to sinners you will not only pull them out of their wicked ways but also avoid 'murder charges' being brought upon you by our master.
- Therefore, make Jesus known within your jurisdiction: e.g. your relatives, neighbors, colleagues, workmates, etc. In so doing we will not bear their blood when our master returns. Sasa nikujituma wapendwa. Barikiweni.
