The journalist who wrote this was right. If it is true that Jesus was resurrected, then this message is so powerful that we absolutely have to proclaim it, even if we don’t have to shout it in everyone‘s face. The Gospel is the best message in the world and we need not be ashamed to talk about Jesus. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died out of love for us and rose again on the third day. He came to save us forever and paid for it with his life.
If we understood what a treasure we possess through the Gospel, then we wouldn’t remain silent. In a very unusual situation I became aware of this.
Before a concert of the rock band Korn I met Brian Welch, the guitarist. He asked me to invite some fans to meet him backstage after the show. VIP tickets like these usually cost US$300. But I was allowed to give them away. I had such fun approaching young people and inviting them to meet a rock star in person. Of course everyone came and Brian shared about his life and finally invited them to give their lives to Jesus.
When I distributed the VIP tickets, a thought crossed my mind: I invite young people here to meet a famous rock star for a few minutes to get an autograph, and it‘s so much fun. When it comes to evangelism, sometimes we are afraid or ashamed. But we don‘t invite people to spend a few minutes with a rock star, but to spend eter- nity with God. What a privilege and an honor! This can be much more fun.
