Often I am presented with opportunities to share gospel and I wimp out. Often I have the opportunity to share where my happiness comes from, and I wimp out. I have been blessed with the opportunity to tell everyone I come in contact with about Jesus, and I bail a majority of the time.
I have realized that if I do not carry the name of Jesus with me everywhere I go, what am I carrying? Well I look at myself and realize I am carrying the name or brand of numerous different companies....nike, adidas, hurley, polo, vestal, apple, vans, new era, microsoft, hp, puma, gatorade, acura, the list could go on for hours. All these brands, companies, and names will fade away yet I all to often choose to carry their name over the name of Jesus. I support this companies over supporting my Lord and Savior. Every single one of these companies rely's on us to carry their name. Jesus is the exact same way!!! If we as followers of Christ are more worried about what nikes we will wear today instead of who we will share the gospel with, there is a problem. Jesus fully rely's on us, his children, to carry HIS name out into the world. Without these carriers His name will start to fade. If we choose to carry these other names over His name are we really being obedient to what the Lord has called us to do?!
I'm not trying to say don't buy these brands or you are a bad person. What I'm trying to get across is, are you more worried about a swoosh and three lines, or are you worried about the cross and what happened at Calvary? Choose to carry the name of JESUS CHRIST with you everywhere you go! It needs to be carried anywhere and everywhere, whether you are at McDonald's or you are at Church!
Everyone can always use a little more Jesus in their lives!
Ephesians 6:19-20
