Meaning Word Evangelist Day 17
Jesus said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."1 Paul wrote, "I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ"2 And again to Timothy, "But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardships, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry."3
Evangelism is an activity whereby a Christian explains or presents the Christian gospel to a non-Christian, with the intention of encouraging that person to become a Christian. Evangelist Ray Comfort says "The word 'evangelist' comes from the Koine Greek word transcribed as 'euangelion' via the Latin "Evangelium", as used in the canonical titles of the four Gospels, authored by Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John (also known as the Four Evangelists)."
