The Best Gift Ever!

Of course, the best gift ever is Jesus Christ! He is the best gift ever given and the best gift you could ever share with someone. And the good news is the gift of Christ is available to all.  There is no cost to purchase because He already paid the price in full by dying on the cross for our sins.  However, the good news is that He did not stay dead, He rose from the dead and He is RISEN!

“Thank God for this gift too wonderful for words!”-2 Corinthians 9:15 NLT

Imagine for a moment you were approaching a bridge and noticed the bridge was out. You knew if anyone tried to drive across the bridge they would fall off into the water and drown. How would you respond?

• Would you leave the scene as if it was not your problem to warn anyone?

• Would you sit idly by and watch all the people drive off the bridge?

• Or would you do everything within your power to stop them and warn them that the bridge was out?

I think most people would do everything within their power to warn oncoming traffic that the bridge is out in an attempt to save the lives of those not aware of the impending danger ahead. Well that’s most definitely what I would do! As such, I would like to take this opportunity to warn each of you reading this page that the bridge it out ahead. 

You see this story is an analogy for life and just as I could not in good conscience allow anyone to travel across that bridge without trying to warn them of the impending danger awaiting ahead, I can’t allow you to leave this page without asking you to help me warn others of an impending hell ahead. 

Hell is real, but no one has to spend one moment there if they trust Jesus Christ. All that’s required is to believe that He died for your sins and is raised from the dead.

Will you make the choice to join me or will you sit idly by and allow others to drive across the bridge fully aware of the danger ahead?

“Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”– Matthew 28:19-20 NLT

If you have received this gift, share it with someone else. It’s the best gift you’ve ever received and it’s the best gift you could ever give someone else.

Looking for a simple and unique way to share the gospel…how about shopping? Yes, it may sound strange, but you actually can share the gospel by shopping.

The Great I Am Boutique, which sells Christian Rhinestone t-shirts includes invitation to Christ cards with every order. All with the purpose of helping the owner reach her goal to invite 100,000 people to Christ by 2014.

Suggested instructions are included along with five uniquely decorated party invitations that cleverly illustrate there is a Kingdom party to which all are invited, but an RSVP is required.  A prayer and words of encouragement are also included on the invitation.  Even the shyest of individuals can share the gospel by just giving someone a party invitation.

TOMS Shoes is a company that exhibits the love of Christ with every sale. The goal is to use the purchasing power of individuals to benefit the greater good. 

Walking is often the primary mode of transportation in developing countries. Children can walk for miles to get food, water, shelter and medical help. Most children in these countries grow up barefoot, however wearing shoes protects them from painful injuries.

Also, many times children can't attend school barefoot because shoes are a required part of their uniform. If they don't have shoes, they don't go to school. If they don't receive an education, they don't have the opportunity to realize their potential. TOMS enables these children to take a step towards a better tomorrow. With each pair of shoes sold, a pair shoes is given to a child in need.

So the next time you shop, do some good and share the love of Christ. Sharing the gospel could not be easier.

“For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’ 

“Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you something to drink? Or a stranger and show you hospitality? Or naked and give you clothing? When did we ever see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 

“And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’- Matthew 25:35-40 NLT
