Bible Note: Dear Lionstrong, Using your viewpoint, consider this conversation: Unsaved Person: "I think I need to get saved. Can you tell me about Jesus?" Saved Person: "Nope. sorry. I'm not an ordained apostle." UP: "But, what if I die tonight, unsaved?" SP: "Well, you'll have to call around and see if you can find a pastor to tell you about Jesus, because I just can't. Good luck." UP: "But my eternal soul is at stake.!!" My friend, this hypothetical is exactly why we ALL are called to minister. I Peter 3:15--"but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence;"(NASB) "Always being ready with a defense..." Now, let's not get into the semantics of whether witnessing is offense or defense. I think you and I both know what Peter was saying here. And the last part, about "gentleness and reverence" certainly applies to your response to Emmaus. 2nd samuel 22 |
