Get Up and Share The Gospel

My dad mastered the art of getting me out of bed when I was a kid. If I were sleeping in, my dad would rush into my room, jump onto the bed, tackle me, and say that it was time to get up. And the crazy thing is I never felt attacked. I felt safe and loved, and then I felt encouraged to get up. Jesus does something very, very similar in the gospel for this Sunday. He’s calling the disciples to get up, to get out, and to share with the world that they have a Savior, and they’re called to be close to Him. But Jesus doesn’t do it in an attacking way. He does it with loving encouragement, reminding the disciples that they are loved and that life is worth living when they share the gospel. And this is the hot take. Life is not worth living if we’re not sharing Jesus. Permit Jesus to jump right in there and, with love, encourage you to go out.
