Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, thevirgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Isaiah7:14
There is an image we use in our Basic Evangelism Training Seminar (available online on our YouTube and Rumble social media) with a look of panic and the caption “oh no, not evangelism!”. When you hear that what goes through your mind? Is it panic? Fear? Not knowing what to say or do? Do you envision being asked to preach the Gospel in front of thousands of people like Billy Graham?
Well, sharing the Gospel can be scary. Let’s not deny that. But more often than not, as a member of the Bezeugen Tract Club you are probably handing a tract to a cashier or someone in line and asking a simple question “did you get one of these?” It might be leaving a tract on a table or at a gas pump. There should be nothing scary about that.
This time of year it seems like everyone, not just Christian’s, are thinking about Christmas. While Christmas has become largely secular in society we find that people celebrate because they enjoy the lights, gifts, and getting together with family and friends. We have come to find that this makes Christmas time the easiest time of the year to share the Gospel.
You can say “Merry Christmas” and hand someone a tract. Most people will take the tract and either say “thanks” or “Merry Christmas” back to you.
Or you can easily get into a conversation with someone by asking them if they celebrate Christmas. Since we know that most people regardless of their religion do, they will probably say “Yes”. So then the follow up question is to ask them why they celebrate. Is it for the lights, the gifts, time with family and friends, or some “deeper” meaning? Wait and see what they say. If the answer is anything other than to celebrate the birth of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, then you have an open door to share with them the true meaning of Christmas. I’ll simply ask people if I can tell them what Christmas is all about. Remember, like Linus does in Charlie Brown Christmas.
A website has a downloadable PDF you could print out along with an embedded YouTube video of Linus’ speech quoting:
And in the same region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying,
“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
Luke 2:8-14
