What if

What if.

What if you found something that could transform your life and the life of other people, wouldn’t you want it? Wouldn’t you want to share it?
That is what we Christians believe we have.
Jesus tells this parable,
“The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. 
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls.  
When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.”                                                                                                                                       Matthew 13:44-46. 
Now we can’t buy or way into heaven. Salvation is a free gift from God one each and every individual must choose to accept or reject themselves.
However Jesus here is giving an example of how precious salvation is to the believer in Christ. It is so valuable that the believer if they could they would sell everything they had and buy it.
If we Christians think Salvation through Christ is so valuable is it any wonder we would not want to share it with all whom we come in contact with?
We Christians I know from time to time come across as aggressive, even fanatical but most of the time it’s done out of a belief that we truly have the path to eternal life with God.
We believe the worlds of Jesus who said,
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” 
                John 14:6
Matthew 16:13-16 records,
“When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” 
They replied, “Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 
“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?” 
Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 
                                                                                     Matthew 16:13-16 .
We also believe the words of Jesus when he said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  
Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” 
                                                                                                        John 3:16-18.
It is because we believe all of the above that we feel it is the most important thing we can present to the world.
If you had such an important message wouldn’t you wish to tell people about it?
Think about it.
