Greetings, My
Friends;
If you want
to witness for Jesus, there are a number of ways you can do it. It is not
absolutely necessary to quote the Bible or stand on a street corner and preach.
I relate what I did in the past, or what I am doing now. I give it in the
context of examples. These are only a couple of the many possibilities.
About 5 years
ago, I was a volunteer in a local hospital. I was a patient transporter. For
those of you who are unfamiliar with that term, I will explain. A transporter
takes people from admitting to their rooms, takes patience for tests, takes
discharge patients to the front door and sees that transport home is waiting.
It is an
interesting job because you meet every
kind of person, and every age. Happy to go home, irritated about going for
tests, and scared to be admitted.
Because of
these situations, I always tried to adapt
to the person. If they were coming in
I was always positive, with them. If they wanted to talk, I listened. I
would also tell them how good the hospital is, and how far medicine has come,
and even one or two of my health problems and their successful conclusion.
If a patient
was going for tests, again I would listen. Depending on their attitude, I might
agree with them, and end up telling them how important all of these tests are.
Sometimes I would talk to take their minds off of tests for a few minutes.
When I got a
call to a room where someone was going home, I knew they were likely to be in a very good mood. I would walk into the
room and announce that I was sent to spread a little sunshine. As I was getting
the person set up in the wheelchair, adjusting the foot rest and such, I would
say to them; you must be pretty important to this hospital, because they sent
their best transporter to help you leave. All of the above, usually got several smiles and pleasant talk.
The next
message will be a couple of other ways and will probably conclude this topic.
In conclusion I will tie it all together to show how it really is witnessing
for Jesus.
God bless you
and remember,
Jesus loves
you.
Prayer of
Salvation;
"Oh God in heaven,
I believe with all my heart that Jesus has been raised from the dead. I receive
Your Word, and I repent of sin. I renounce the past. Come into my heart, Lord
Jesus. I receive my forgiveness. I receive the new birth, cleansed and washed
in the Word and in the precious blood of Jesus. Fill me with Your Spirit, in
Jesus name. Amen."
