One day a woman named Louise fell asleep in her bed, and dreamed a dream. She dreamed that someone in hell wrote a letter to her, and it was to be delivered to her by a messenger. The messenger passed between the lakes of burning fire and brimstone that occupies Hell, and found his way to the door that would lead him to the outside world. Louise dreamed that the messenger walked to her house, came inside, and gently but firmly woke Louise up. He gave her the message, saying only that a friend had wrote it to her from Hell. Louise, in her dream, with trembling hands took the letter and read: My Friend,
After reading the letter, Louise awoke. The dream was still so real in her mind and sweat dropped from her body in pools. She swore she could still smell the acrid smell of brimstone and smoke from her room. As she contemplated the meaning of her dream, she realized that as a Christian, she has failed in her duty to "go out to all the world and preach the gospel." As she thought of that, she promised herself that the next day, she would call Marsha and invite her to church with her. The next morning she called Marsha and this was the conversation: Yes, Bill, is Marsha there?
Fellow Christian, is this your testimony? Are you witnessing to your friends that you are with everyday? Or will there be a friend of yours in hell, asking you why you did not tell them about JESUS? Deep letter, don't you think? How many of your friends will hold
you accountable for not telling them about Jesus and His love?
It is every Christians mission to share the gospel message with
all. It is not just the Pastors, It is not just the Deacons. Jesus
does not ask you to tell the world, like you have a choice in the
matter. He commands us to tell the world! God's purpose in our
lives was not just to "get us saved" if it was, once we accepted
Christ into our life and received his gift of grace he would have
taken us to Heaven at the moment of salvation! His purpose is
for us to tell the world of His Son Jesus!
