Just Plant The Seed

Just plant the seed!
The Gospel…is the power of God to salvation.”
Romans 1:16 NKJV
An English pastor tells this story. A man in his church was approached by a little white haired man in George Street, Sydney, handed a tract and asked “Are you saved, if you died tonight, are you going to heaven?” The question haunted the man until he finally surrendered his life to Christ. Later the pastor was visiting Adelaide and a lady testified to a similar experience in George Street. It motivated her to come to Jesus also. The pastor shared this story in the Caribbean, Perth and even Atlanta and each time people would testify that part of their salvation story was being approached by a little man in George Street. Years later the pastor was visiting Sydney and asked a friend about this man. “That would be Mr Frank Jenner but I don’t think he does it anymore, he’s too frail and elderly.” They sought out Mr Jenner and told him about all the people who’d come to know Christ because of the question he’d asked them. Deeply moved, the old man said, “When I was led to Christ I promised God I would share Jesus in a simple way with at least 10 people each day. In 40 years I hadn’t heard of one person coming to Jesus until today.”
Some people come to Christ on the first call, but the hard-headed among us usually take the long route home. Your job is not to change people; just share the life-giving Word and let God change them. Jesus said, “I, when I am lifted up…will draw all men to Myself” (John 12:32 NIV). Just plant the seed and let the Lord of the harvest do the rest!
