Please excuse the Christian

Please Excuse the Christian
Jesus told 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.
Please excuse the Christian if he or she wants to tell you about Jesus. If they seem over eager or overly exuberant at wanting to tell you about Jesus.
You must remember that for we Christians the most important thing in our life is finding Jesus. Is realizing that Jesus is as he said,
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” 
                                                                                                                                           John 14:6.
Christians believe the words of Jesus who 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.
Christians believe that in accepting Christ they know here and now in this life that they are going to heaven.
That eternal life with God is an act of Love on God’s part.
That it is a gift from God. The apostle Paul explaining,
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—  not by works, so that no one can boast.” 
                                                                       Ephesians 2:8,9.
As Jesus explained in the parable at the beginning of this article
“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.
So I can hope you understand that because knowing Jesus in a personal way is so important to us as Christians it is only logical that we would want to share that experience with all people whoever they may be.
Please think about it.
