Why Should We Evangelize?

Motivational Speaker

  • We should evangelize out of love for the lost.
    • When Jesus went ashore, He saw a large crowd, and He felt compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and He began to teach them many things (Mark 6:34).
      • Jesus' love and compassion for the lost motivate Him to teach, not just to meet felt needs by working a miracle.  
      • Jesus' teaching is motivated by love and compassion, not a desire to win an argument or appear intelligent.
  • Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd.  Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.  Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest (Matt 9:36).
    • Jesus' love and compassion for people motivates him to pray for more workers to reap the harvest.
