Great Quote: Do Something for Jesus

June 15, 2009

My brother gave a great teaching at CWL yesterday regarding practical tips on sharing the story of Jesus with others – it was just outstanding.

At the end of the message he shared a quote from Charles Spurgeon (I think he got it from the Daily Spurgeon Quote from www.livingwaters.com) -

“Do something for Jesus. Show Him a proof of your love, and the best proof you can give is your own personal holiness and personal effort to gather His redeemed.  Brother, sister, do something for Jesus.  Do not talk about it: do it.  Words are leaves; actions are fruits.   Do something for Jesus; do something for Jesus today!  Ere the sun goes down think of some one action which may tend to the conversion of some one person and do it with your might; let the object of the effort be your child, your servant, your brother, your friend-but do make the effort today.  Having done it today, do it tomorrow, and every day, and doing it one way, do it another way; and doing it one state of heart, do it in another.  Let your joy enchant, let your sorrow arouse, let your hope attract; let your changeful moods help you to attack sinners from different quarters, as your varying circumstances bring you into contact with differing persons.  Be always awake.  Turn yourself about like a gun on a swivel to reach persons who are found in any direction, so that some may fall wounded by the gospels power.  By all means save some: God grant it may be so.”
