Thirst

I'm sure we've all heard the saying, "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink." This saying is applied to so many things from raising children to making sales at work to sports teams. As Christians we tend to apply it to sharing the Gospel. We try to share with people, we present the Gospel, we invite them to church and then we get frustrated when things don't go our way. And then we plug the saying in.
The neat thing about sharing the Gospel is that it isn't our job to make them drink. Instead it's our job to make them thirsty. We can't make someone accept Christ, we can't make them grasp the Gospel, but we can make them want to. As believers we need to be good sales persons for Christianity. If we make it something that people want then they will be thirsty, and they will eventually drink. Like so many other things it's all about the perception. Because, perception is reality. If people think your salvation isn't that important to you, they won't see the importance in their own lives.We've got to make sure that people realize the most important thing we possess is our relationship with Christ and everything else is unimportant compared to Christ. Like Paul says, "To live is Christ."
Thanks for reading and have a great day!
