March 09--The Toughest Thing To Do
Two people were having a converstation the other day. They were talking about what the hardest part about following Jesus was. One of them said, "I think the whole loving your neighbor part it toughest." The other agreed that it was tough, but replied, "I think that evangelism is the toughest part."
What do you think is the toughest part about following Jesus?
What do you think of when you hear the word evangelism?
Why would some say that this is so tough?
What are the implications of us thinking that "evangelism" is so tough?
How did Jesus evangelize?
Read Matthew 9:9-14.
What does this show you about Jesus' style of evangelism?
Perhaps we need to move on from cognitively trying to convince people to follow Jesus and start learning to cook or eat meals with them. I wonder what would happen if we simply became available to others like Jesus was.
Who are two people in your life that you know don't follow Jesus and would never come to church but would come over for dinner? How could this be a form of evangelism?
Try it!

i think that loving your neighbor can be very tough at times. Sometimes there may be that one person that is just so mean to you that you can't help hating them.
Aslo, what is evangelism? I've never heard the word before.
