Red Or Blue- Leading People To Jesus
Pastor\n Spencer preached an eye opening message about sharing Jesus with people\n in our Tokyo church (Victory Place Sengendai Building). He shared \nabout the four types of ground conditions of the hearts of people as the\n Lord Jesus taught in the parable of the sower in Mark 4:1-8. The four \nconditions of the heart are
\u2022 Seed by that fell by the wayside- those who outright reject the Gospel and eternal life
\u2022 Seed that fell on the stony ground- those who accept the Gospel, but quickly fall away and die spiritually
\u2022\n Seed that fell among the thorns- those who accept Jesus but are choked \nout by the things of this world.. money, fame, relationships
\u2022 Seed that fell on good ground- those who accept the Gospel and embrace it fully. That\u2019s you and I!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pastor\n highlighted that it\u2019s easy for us to share the Word of God and the \nGospel with the people around us. Our job is to plant the seed, the \ngrowth and results are the responsibility of the receiver, the hearer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As\n a Spirit-filled Christian, the Holy Spirit will lead us in how to deal \nwith people. Many are red and ripe like a fruit that just falls off the\n vine into our hands. Others are still green, or in Japanese blue, and \nneed time. Our job is to plant the see of the gospel in their lives. \nAre you telling people about Jesus?
