Spread the Word

Pastor Casey at KPC, really inspired me today. He shared a verse during his sermon that really stuck with me. "The truth is, a kernel of wheat must be planted in the soil. Unless it dies it will be alone--a single seed. But its death will produce many new kernels--a plentiful harvest of new lives." (John 12:24, NLT) Jesus spoke these words to his disciples to explain why He must die. Jesus died on the cross to bring new life to this earth. But He has called us Christians to spread His word. Without us, the harvest can not be complete. Do not let fear of man stand in your way. God has called us to spread the Word, to be a light for others. We can not let the fear of man hold us back from fulfilling God's will. "If anyone acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will openly acknowledge that person before my Father in heaven. But if anyone denies me here on earth. I will deny that person before my Father in heaven." (Matthew 12:32-33, NLT) Jesus Christ died on the cross for me and for you. Keeping your lips sealed is the same as denying him openly. Stand firm for what you believe in, stand firm for your King. "We cannot stop telling about the wonderful things we have seen and heard." (Acts 4:20, NLT) Go out and spread the word to the world. I challenge you to not let fear stand in your way, share the love with Jesus Christ with one person this week. I will praying for this opportunity right along with you. If you feel led to, please share your experience with all of us on the blog, to give God all the glory.

Blessings,
