Have you shared Jesus with anyone?

     It's a simple question.  There are two answers.  Yes, I have.  No, I haven't.  The first is wonderful.  The second one is sin.  That is, if you are a Christian.  Two simple answers and you are in charge of both.  Using his name as a cuss word doesn't count.  Thinking it's Spanish and naming your child Jesus doesn't count either.  I'm sure you have your reasons for sharing or not sharing Jesus.  Maybe you are embarrassed, feel intimidated, fear what people might think, or just feeling it isn't your job tell me that you haven't really taken your relationship with the Savior seriously.  What if he had done that with you?  Spending eternity in hell was and is the furthest thing from His mind.  Being embarrassed?  He will deny you only if you deny him.  It will be with a deep sadness for Him but for you?  Jesus wasn't intimidated by anyone or anything.  He knew that his words, thoughts and actions would cost him his earthly life so that your words, thoughts and actions could be an act of free will for you.  Jesus didn't demur to anyone else to do his job.  He wouldn't have done that even if he could.  It was his job and it's your job as well.  We who acknowledge Jesus as Lord and Savior have no excuse.  Our sharing Jesus or not sharing Jesus constitutes all that Jesus commanded us to do.  Go into all the world and tell others about Jesus.
     What would happen if you were to talk about Jesus the way you talk about your favorite sports team, that new shop with up to date design dresses, and other such things?  Do you brag about Jesus as much as you do your children, your spouse, and your accomplishments?  What would happen if you were to wear messages about Jesus on your clothing instead of clothing depicting every foul thin imaginable?  Maybe that personalized license plate could read "JESUS" instead of saying "me" every which way possible.  The Christian today has little impetus to proclaim Jesus because the message of the world persuades them to do otherwise.  While the world is telling you not to offend anyone with anything about Jesus; the world is telling you to enhance everything about the enemy in every facet of your life.  Does your choice of what you watch on TV, the movies or even the music you listen to tell the world of your love of Jesus or your love of self?  These aren't just imaginings that I have.  These are real life choices that Christians are making and sometimes their pastors and spiritual leaders encourage that choice.  They too will be held accountable for what they did and not do for those they were sent to share Jesus with.
     Have you shared Jesus with anyone?  Have you told anyone you love Jesus?  Have you told them you love Jesus more than life itself?  Have you told them that Jesus is so important to you that you would die for his name?  Maybe you have said you would but Peter did so as well then he went on to deny Christ 3 times.  There is a day coming when your choice will determine whether you take the mark of the beast or not.  Whether you deny Christ and serve the beast for a loaf of bread.  Whether your children avoid execution in front of you or not.  If you aren't prepared to claim Jesus now what makes you think you will stand for Jesus as someone has a gun to the head of your 9 year old?  As they plead for you to help him will you stand for Jesus?  Courage isn't something you can muster at the last minute because courage is based in knowing what you believe and living what you believe. Courage comes from faith in Christ.  Faith, when it's worked it's course, enables you to stand with him rather than against him.  If you aren't sharing Jesus you are not his disciple.  You are standing against the Lord who gave his life so you could have one.
