...what's your take?

I'm a firm believer in evangelism. I think that it's at the very center of Gods heart. Naturally discipleship is the next step; but folks need to hear the message of the gospel first in a way that they can identify with right?

For instance...if a town full of bakers had never heard of Jesus Christ...how would you help them understand who He was? By explaining the intricate details of heart surgery? Of course not. You'd probably try and use something that they were familiar with so that they could "identify" with what your saying. More than likely you'd talk of preparation in relationship to time, or how important it is not to use too much yeast and what it would do if they did, maybe having a cake baking contest and stressing the importance of following your directions exactly as prescribed. Then ending your presentation with a perfectly baked cake (without blemish), possibly compared to one that was made without following the "special recipe" (in relation to the Christ and the sinfulness of man).

Of course this is an over-simplified illustration but you get the point right? People need to be able to call Him "their" Saviour... a Messiah that is willing to meet them where they are in a profoundly personal way with the truth of God and who He is.

...that's my two cents.
