故事
这是一个凉爽的秋日清晨,兰迪刚刚完成了每晨的圣经阅读。湖面反射着晨光,他深吸了一口清新的山间空气。从小屋的门廊上,兰迪可以看到他的弟弟在船码头上。他迅速收起圣经,走下码头与他会合。
“你在做什么,比利?”兰迪问道。
比利抬头说道,“我在钓鱼!”
兰迪环顾四周,看到比利的钓鱼竿和工具箱躺在他旁边的码头上。工具箱旁边是一个装满湖水的桶。兰迪问,“你是说你准备钓鱼吧?”
比利回答,“不,我已经钓了大约半小时的鱼了。”
兰迪忍住笑意说,“比利,你的钩子上没有虫子,你的鱼线甚至不在水里。你怎么可能在钓鱼?”
比利笑着说,“这很简单。你看,我戴着钓鱼帽和救生衣。当鱼游过来时,它们会看到一个渔夫坐在码头上,然后跳出水面,落在桶里。”
兰迪大笑起来,“比利,你这样是抓不到鱼的!你得把虫子放在钩子上,把鱼线扔进水里。”
比利迅速回答,“我不喜欢摸虫子,它们很黏。我讨厌把鱼从钩子上拿下来,因为很难,有时还会被鱼鳍扎到。”
兰迪停止了笑声,“比利,你只希望鱼看到你是个渔夫是抓不到任何东西的。你需要把鱼线放进水里。来吧,我帮你。”
有些基督徒在传耶稣基督的好消息时也有类似的思维过程。你看,有些基督徒认为人们会看到他们去教会,帮助别人,或者看到他们车上的“我爱耶稣”贴纸。他们以为,当别人看到他们是基督徒时,就会简单地跟他们去教会。
耶稣告诉我们要去,把好消息传给每个人。当然,与人交谈并分享信仰可能会很困难。我们可能会害怕有人嘲笑我们。为了在有机会时分享好消息,我们需要做好准备。我们可以通过阅读圣经和祷告来准备。定期参加一个平衡良好的教会也很重要。这样我们可以与他人分享我们自己的教会家庭。
所以不要只是看起来像个基督徒。去了解你周围的人,与他们分享关于我们主的好消息。

THE FISHING TRIP
A fish story worth telling.
TOPICS:Christian Living, Witnessing DURATION:Approximately 5 minutes It was a clear crisp autumn morning, and Randy had just finished his morning Bible reading. He drew in a deep breath of refreshing mountain air as the morning sun reflected off the surface of the lake. From the cabin's porch, Randy could see his brother down on the boat dock. He quickly put away his Bible and walked down to the dock to join him. "What are you doing Billy?" Randy asked. Billy looked up and said, "I'm fishing!" |
Randy looked around and saw Billy's fishing pole and tackle box lying on the dock next to him. Next to the tackle box was a bucket filled with lake water. Randy asked, "Don't you mean you're getting ready to go fishing?"
Billy answered, "No, I've been fishing for about half an hour."
Randy suppressed a giggle and said, "Billy, you don't have a worm on your hook and your fishing line isn't even in the water. How could you be fishing?"
Billy smiled and said, "It's simple. You see, I have on my fishing hat and my life jacket. When fish swim by, they will see a fisherman sitting on the dock and jump out of the water and land in the bucket."
Randy burst out laughing, "Billy you won't catch any fish that way! You have to put a worm on your hook and throw your fishing line into the water."
Billy quickly replied, "I don't like touching the worms. They're slimy. I hate taking the fish off the hook because it's hard and I sometimes get stuck by their fins."
Randy stopped laughing, "Billy, you'll never catch anything by hoping the fish see you are a fisherman. You need to put your fishing line in the water. Come on, I'll help you."
Some Christians have a similar thought process when it comes to reaching others with the Good News of Jesus Christ. You see, some Christians figure that people will see them going to church, helping others, or maybe see the "I love Jesus" bumper sticker on their cars. They believe when others see that they are Christians, they will simply follow them to church.
Jesus told us to go everywhere and share the Good News with everyone. However, sometimes it may be hard to talk to people and share your faith. We may be afraid someone will laugh or make fun of us. To share the Good News when ever we have the chance, we need to be prepared. We can prepare by reading our Bibles and praying to God. It's also important to have a well balanced church to attend regularly. In that way we can share with others about our own church home.
So don't just look like a Christian. Get to know the people around you, and share with them the Good News about our Lord.
