The Gospel Works!

I got a call from a friend who was ecstatic yesterday.  She had the opportunity to lead a friend of hers to Jesus.  This was a friend she has lived with, loved on, rejoiced with and even suffered with.  In short they’ve done LIFE together.

And after years of joy and pain this person wanted what my friend has.  She didn’t want a list of books read, classes taken or seminars attended but rather whatever it was that made my friend different.  My friend isn’t in vocational ministry but that doesn’t mean she’s in anything less than full-time ministry… her life is ministry.  And because her life is ministry - being loved, loved and following Jesus - her friend saw that the gospel works!

Oh, that others would see our lives, our convictions in Jesus come to life and desire what we have!  The gospel isn’t moralistic how-to’s or behavioral do’sand don’ts but rather life in Jesus, acceptance into His Kingdom and that the gospel really does work!

walk on,

Pastor Andrew
