But that is not complete evangelism.
If we never get around to simply asking the lost person if he or she would like to transfer their trust to Jesus alone for personal salvation, we have failed to do the job.
Evangelism is telling and asking!
Consider these three examples of this from the Gospel of John:
1. Andrew: “One of the two who heard John speak, and followed Him (Jesus), was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He found first his own brother Simon, and said to him, ‘we have found the Messiah’ (which translated means Christ). He brought him to Jesus.”
2. The Samaritan Woman at the Well: “So the woman left her waterpot, and went into the city, and said to the men, ‘Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?’ ”
3. Jesus: (Speaking to his disciples just before he went to the Cross) : “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father , but through Me.”
Andrew, the woman at the well and the Lord Jesus Himself all got to the point. They landed the plane.
Is it time for you to land the plane too with that person who you have been trying to win to Christ?
My office has thin window panes. I love it because I can hear what’s going on in the church parking lot.
