Money Box Gospel.

Hey guys, I am back again with a tidbit of new delight...well, i found it a delight :) So, my Spanish class is made up of a diverse group of kids. Really. I've never seen anything like it. Today, this guy goes up to the teacher and at first was talking about some worksheet or bookwork of something, but in his hand is a box full of shredded money. $10,000 worth of shredded money apparently. He just came out and started explaining to our teacher all about this mysterious, clear box filled with pieces of dollar bills. He said stuff like how much it was and where he got it; to my surprise, she actually got interested! She asked him something about taping it all back together, then he informed her that it was a federal offense to do so. He knew nearly everything about that little box of money. I thought it was weird and cool at the same time. Then God hit me with a super duper analogy for this guy with his box of cash and us sharing the Gospel.

We should be like that guy when it comes to sharing what we have. Yes, I know he had some shredded money and we've got the truth and faith that leads to eternal life, but they are comparable despite the obvious differences. He was so excited, eager, and knowledgeable about his box of bills. Are we excited, eager, and knowledgeable when it comes to sharing the Gospel with people? Fortunately for him (although i don't think he would have been seriously hurt if someone had rejected his little box of fun), the teacher enjoyed and listened intently to what he had to say. And sometimes it's the same for us. However, when he returned to his seat and shared the same knowledge and facts with his neighbor, the response was different. And i didn't notice it by the response his mouth gave, either. It was the look on the other kid's face. His expression was one of utter boredom and annoyance. He couldn't have cared less about that box, even if he didn't verbalize these feelings.

But did that stop the guy with the money from sharing about it? ABSOLUTELY NOT. He continued and eventually stopped, but he was filled with pure happiness over that box! It amazed me. WE should be like that. WE should share Christ with people even when we know they might reject us or think us weird for serving a God we can't even see. But should that stop us? Heck no. So take this example set by the awesome guy from my Spanish class and go out into the world ready to share your box of joy. Don't let fear or nerves stop you. if we do, Satan wins. We cannot let him and his evil plans defeat us. Never. CHRIST WILL PREVAIL. :)
