"Immediately he preached the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God."  

Acts 9:20 (NKJ)

The Apostle Paul, who had set out to destroy the Church, had an encounter with Jesus that changed his world! Paul, who at the time was called Saul, now set out to build the Church, and he wasted no time in doing so! The Bible says that "Immediately" he began to tell people about Jesus. Paul had experienced the mercy and saving grace of Jesus Christ and could not help but share it with others.

We may not have been set out on destroying the Church (although some indeed may have) but it is certain if we are born again, we have experienced the saving mercy and grace that comes only through Jesus Christ. As with the Apostle Paul, we have no time to waste! There is a lost and dying world waiting to be rescued; they need the saving grace of Jesus! And, if they are ever going to receive it, we'll have to tell them about it! We have been given a great gift, and now we must share it with the world! William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, said, "Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters, and servants and masters not to come there. And then look Christ in the face, whose mercy you have professed to obey, and tell him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish his mercy to the world." Brother and sisters, let us go forth in joy and boldness sharing the "Good News" of Jesus Christ!

"But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?" Romans 10:14 (NLT)
