Day 13: Let's push things forward -> -> -> -> ->

Looking back on today I wonder what really happened.

I woke up late because of last night and read random Israeli history for hours because I'm a geek. Afterwards I got all of my gear together inhaled a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and went off to work.

At work I pondered about how to share Jesus but failed to just do it. I got caught up and really just wasn't able to get myself focused and pray for a real solution.

Once I left I headed for my bike and glided across the street to the Oval where I ran into 3 people and shared Jesus with them.

The first man had all of these right answers but as we parted ways I just didn't have a peace about it. The second person I talked to was a lady who was Muslim. She wasn't a practicing one and wasn't willing to believe that God could have a son. The last person was this guy who was just sitting out there on a bench reading the Fountainhead. He admitted that he thought about Jesus but after some talking he just waved me off and told me he wanted to read his book.

A second later I ran into my roommate heading across the Oval. I biked along side him for a little bit and cut back across the Oval passing the last guy I talked to. A few minutes have passed and he's got the book sort of closed. He's hunching over and his hands look like a guy who is praying. I pray he meets God.

Lesson Learned

In the last two days it has become clearer to me that there is more to outreach than a new method. I'm talking about a more personal experience I guess. Forgive me for stating the obvious but our lives should be a constant outreach to this world we are in. Until our lives reflect the life that Jesus lived I don't believe we will really experience the full joy that God tells us is availble to us.

A friend once posed a question that I ran into today.

How much will it hurt Jesus to live eternity without the lost?

Praise Jesus.
