Subject: Who is Jesus? |
Bible Note: Careful, Lisa...I am starting to like you! :) When I say "confrontational," I do not necessarily mean screaming and pointing one's finger in another's face and calling it evangelism (though I am sure that such things may be called for at times). However, one cannot grasp one's need for a savior unless they have a clear understanding of what it is they need saving FROM. Jesus is not some cosmic therapist here to see that we are walking in ignorant bliss. Jesus came for the purpose of being a sacrifice for our sins. Therefore, a complete and accurate gospel message needs to point out to the person his/her sin nature and their offense against a holy God, a situation from which they cannot rescue themselves. It is only after we realize that Christ died to save sinners from a justly-deserved Hell that we stop trusting in our own futile efforts and start relying on his completed work 2000 years ago. Confrontation does not mean nastiness, but it does require honesty that may or may not be well-received. --Joe! |
