How you doing? I'm Miles McPherson and welcome to the First Mile.
Let's say hypothetically you met the most amazing person in the world.
Someone you felt like you will be in love with for the rest of your life.
How long will it be before you started telling everybody you knew everything
about them and your relationship?
I don't believe it would be something you would keep to yourself. When I first
met my wife,
I couldn't wait to tell all my friends, my family, especially my boys that I met
this girl that I knew I was going to marry.
I was telling them about her smile, what she said when I first asked her to dance
which was "no" and then the way she danced because she eventually said "yes." I told
them how she wouldn't give me her phone number and how I had to hunt her down at
school. Most importantly, I told them how she made me feel when we were
together and even when I thought about her. I didn't need a class to teach me
to do that or challenge me to do that. If you're not ashamed to tell people
about your new boyfriend or girlfriend,
You shouldn't be ashamed to tell people about your Lord, Jesus Christ. When it
comes to Jesus, the One who died on the cross,
forgave you of your sin, telling other people should be easy and something you
want to do, but so many people are hesitant.
So I'm going to make it really easy. I'm going to teach you two ways to tell
everybody about Jesus.
I'm gonna make it so easy, you can't not do it.
The first thing you need to keep in mind is that what you need to share is simply
your experience.
The Bible says in John chapter 9 that Jesus miraculously healed a blind man.
and because Jesus' critics wouldn't accept anything He did as legit,
they challenged the now former blind man to say that Jesus was a sinner and that
what He had done for him was not from God.
The blind man's response was so powerful and so simple.
The Bible says in John 9:25, He says, "Whether He was a sinner or not, I don't
know. But one thing I know, that I was blind now I see." I want you to say out loud with me,
"One thing
I know." Say, "One thing I know." What is the one thing you know about what God has
done in your life?
Just one. Go tell somebody. Has He given you joy? Has He forgiven you of your sin?
Has He given you peace or clarity about your life? Has He lifted a burden off your
shoulders or healed a relationship? Just tell somebody one thing that you know
God has done in your life, that you couldn't have done for yourself. You're not trying
to win an argument.
You're not trying to convince anyone of anything. You are simply sharing your
experience and that's very easy to do.
Now, not only will that encourage you, but it's going to give someone else hope
that God can do the same thing for them. As easy as that is, I have something even
easier. You can actually share the Gospel message with someone through a text
message. If you just text the word, share to the numbers, 52525. Again, text the
word, share to the numbers, 52525.
It will guide you through a few steps that will eventually send a short video
message from me sharing the Gospel with your friend.
You will also get messages texted back to you telling you they got the video, whether
they watched it or not, whether they accepted Christ or not. Easy, easy, easy.
If God was faithful enough to have forgiven you and to love you even though
you had a bunch of junk in your life,
certainly people need to know about that. So here's today's challenge:
Tell one person about Jesus by sharing that one thing and texting the word,
share to the numbers, 52525. Again, both of these ways are telling someone about the
most amazing friend you've ever met and they are so simple.
You cannot resist. Keep in mind that the only reason you have Christ in your life
is because someone told you about Him. The least you can do is pay it forward.

lives,

thing.
