One of the favorite lines of Facebook is "share if..." Realizing
that people have used something years ago prompts them to advocate more
and more sharing which at some point someone will declare that it has
gone viral. If you know how to use a rotary telephone then share it.
If you have ever used a singer sewing machine, then share it. If you
have ever used a dimmer switch on the floorboard of a car, then share
it. The list goes on and on of things that we are prompted to
"share." One thing I haven't seen is, "If you have been saved, share
it." Now, that's one that would be worth sharing. In fact, Acts 1:8
says, " But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is
come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and
in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the
earth."
Couple that with the great commission of Matthew 28 and the
hymn, "I love to tell the story" and you have a message worth sharing.
The account of the events in Acts 1 are amazing. We have the final
words of the Lord Jesus Christ to His disciples, which, by the way,
includes us. The list just keep growing and since we are born again, we
have the power of the Holy Spirit and are able to "share" the message
of salvation. If God answers prayer, then share it. If God has done
something miraculous to you or for you, then share it. If God has given
you an example of His creative power, then share it. John began his
first epistle with the words, "That which was from the beginning,
which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have
looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For
the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and
shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was
manifested unto us;) That which we have seen and heard declare we unto
you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship
is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ." He said,
"...declare we unto you." That's the old fashioned way of saying,"share
it." We all know that God has done something mighty in our lives and
we all know that God commanded us to "share it." So praise God today
about something that He has done in your life. Who knows? It might
just "go viral."
