Jesus Talk

Engine Driver on Steam Train Once a man came to Spurgeon, the great Baptist preacher, and told him that since he was now saved he wanted to help bring people to Jesus Christ. Spurgeon looked at him. "What are you?" said the great preacher. "I'm an engine driver," the man responded. "Is your fireman a Christian?" asked Spurgeon. "I don't know," he replied. "Well find out; and if he's not, start on him!" Jesus talk is the everyday sharing what we are as Christians with those around us. More often than not our Jesus talk is with those who know us best, our friends and family. Those we work with, or go to school or university with, figure much more prominently in our Jesus talk than the unsaved throngs across the seas.

Jesus heals Legion The story of the healing of a man named Legion exemplifies this for me. He had been tormented by demons and terrorized those who lived nearby but was remarkably pacified and cured by Jesus. Today his story would be made into a bestseller, even into a movie! But what did Jesus tell him? "Go back home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you and how kind he has been to you"¹ If we go, what do we do then? We do our Jesus talk. Once you have said our piece, we then need to listen.

¹ Mark 5:19,20
