Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6).
Sometimes we Christians get too caught up in theology, doctrine, committees, and programs and lose sight of Jesus. This is why churches have splits, new believers become so confused, our faith grows lukewarm, and we have trouble witnessing. Jesus is the answer to all these problems and more.
For thou shalt be his witness unto all men... (Acts 22:15).
Over and over I hear people saying they have a hard time witnessing because they don't know what to say, or they're afraid they'll say something wrong. They're focusing too much on themselves when they need to put their focus on Jesus. All they need to do is tell people about Jesus and show them His love and acceptance.
Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men (Matthew 4:19).
When Jesus began to call his disciples, he didn't have training sessions, implement new programs, or set up committees. I'm not saying these things are bad, but they shouldn't detract from our focus -- Jesus. He should be the main part of everything we do. As we grow in our faith, He should be the main part of who we are. We should be Jesus followers, following Jesus.
