JESUS AND HIS EVANGELISTS

JESUS AND HIS EVANGELISTS

BY DR. MERVYN ABREO

SAMARITAN WOMAN AT THE WELL:

          She was one of three harlots of the New Testament who was convicted, and saved to by Lord Jesus Christ.

Isaiah 55:11. ‘’......so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”

     It achieves conviction which leads to repentance, and salvation.

     Or, it brings about rejection, which leads to condemnation.

THE REAPING HARLOT: It was her new title because she turned from a harlot into an evangelist (John 4: 4-30).

          Initially the dialogue between Jesus and the Samaritan woman is about water. But, while Jesus is talking about the Holy Spirit, she is still thinking in the natural.

          It is only when Jesus speaks of her multiple sexual partners that she realizes that He is no mere man. And while on the topic of worship, when Jesus reveals that He is the Christ, she is convinced, and rushing back to the town, testifies about Him.

          And many of the Samaritans from that town believe in Him. (John 4:39-42).

          She goes from a harlot to a believer to an evangelist.

DEMON—POSSESSED MAN: (Luke 8:26 – 39).

          After being delivered by Jesus, the man wanted to go with the Lord but was instructed to return home and evangelize.

LAZARUS -- THE BEGGAR: (Luke 16:19-31).

          There is nothing wrong with being rich, but one should be gracious to the poor. In Jesus’ story, the rich man becomes an evangelist after his death, wanting to go back and preach to his brothers, who were still back on earth.

US: Are we obeying the Lord’s command to “go forth and make disciples………”
