For some reason this morning I felt a little bit rusty during my normal witnessing routine. I kept plugging away though and trying to find people to talk to. I was blessed to have been able to talk to as many people as I did this morning. I first talked with two couples at the bus stop. Couple #1 was a pretty straight forward chat. The boyfriend didn’t seem to be too crazy about what I had to say, he didn’t say too much at all. Couple #2 was a great talk. I had to talk so loudly to overcome the roar of the buses that I felt like I was almost open-air preaching.
Until today I had never spoken to a Jewish person out on the streets. This morning I was able to speak with Aaron. He wasn’t a strict Jew but he said that he did go to synagogue to show respect to his parents. I took him through the Law of Moses and we talked about how the Old Testament speaks of a lamb sacrifice. I also told him that John the Baptist called Jesus “The Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world”. I also read parts of Isaiah 53 to him that speaks of the Messiah. This was a great eye opener for me, something else to study and learn.
Walter and I had a good chat. He was a professing Christian but wanted to know why people worship on Sunday when the Sabbath is Saturday. I asked him to read Colossians 2, and to look at the Book of Acts and notice what day of the week the disciples began to meet together. Lastly was Edward. After I presented Law and Grace to him he told me that he was glad that we ran into each other because he needed a wakeup call. Whether I “feel” on or off my game, so to speak, I will continue to preach the Gospel to honor and glorify God.
