Will You Be the One?

Simon Peter, a slave and an apostle of Jesus Christ: To those who have obtained a faith of equal privilege with ours through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ. - 2 Peter 1:1

If a West African Muslim with a wife and children, comes to faith in Jesus Christ, then how will it happen?

I once took a ride with another missionary around a major African city and was overwhelmed by the enormity of it. As we traveled, I wondered how many Muslims lived there and soon became overwhelmed by the huge need for more believers in Jesus Christ who could take the message of truth to those who might never have an opportunity to hear it. Yet, as I pondered these overwhelming odds, I also realized that I had come to Christ simply due to the faithfulness of the "one." In my spiritual history, one old apostle told someone who told someone who told someone who told someone who told someone, who hundreds of years later then told me about the Savior.

Now, you are here to tell someone, a West African Muslim, a South Asian Hindu, or maybe just a coworker or neighbor, and if he or she follows Christ, then it will be by God's grace, just like the rest of us.

The question before each of us is this, "Will you be the one to go and tell?"

Stand upright, speak thy thoughts, declare the truth thou hast, that all may share; be bold, proclaim it everywhere: They only live who dare. - Lewis Morris
