TOPIC: Do The Work Of An Evangelist
READ: Matthew 4:23-25 (NKJV)
23 Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.
24 News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them.
25 Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis,[a] Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.
THE MESSAGE:
While Jesus was ministering in Galilee, He taught in their synagogues, preached the Gospel of the Kingdom, and healed the sick. Sick people came as far as from Syria, and others who had various diseases and demonic possession were also healed by Him. He became famous and great crowds from Galilee, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the River Jordan, followed Him. Notice the three-fold evangelistic work of Christ as He “went about.” He went about teaching, preaching and healing.
As followers of Christ, we are to work like Him if we must gain the same result in our time. It is to our shame that we have replaced the three-fold work of Christ with publicity and advertisements of all kinds. In our generation, we print posters, banners and flyers in order to gather crowds. Christ’s pattern remains teaching. preaching and healing. We must through preaching, announce the truth and make clear this truth through teaching, and bring healing to the sick (2 Timothy 4:5). The time has come for every Christian to do the work of evangelism. Always be ready to preach the Gospel when God provides you the opportunity (2 Timothy 4:2). You can preach at school, in the bus, at village meetings or write, print, and distribute tracts to people. Start today!
PRAYER: Father, help me to do the work of Christ with all that is in me.
