Reaching Your World with Luis Palau

An Incredible Gift


Listen Later

Picture this: A man is a huge sports fan. He knows all the players’ names. He knows their statistics. He knows the coach’s history. He finds joy and excitement in watching the game. One day, this man is given season tickets for twenty people. You’d think he’d be elated. And yet, he doesn’t give even one away. The man hides the tickets and continues to watch the game from the privacy of his living room. He doesn’t call his buddies and invite them to the stadium. He doesn’t even tell his wife or kids about the incredible gift. Doesn’t that sound absurd?! If I met this man, I’d say, “What are you thinking?! You have the opportunity to bless so many people and yet you’re not! How can you be so selfish?”
But, friend, don’t we all act like this man sometimes? The Bible says that the “gift of God is eternal life.” If you know Jesus Christ, you have this gift. You have eternal life. In today’s world, the number one fear is the fear of death. People are afraid to die. And yet, we have the gift of life! Because of Jesus, we don’t need to be afraid of death because we know that we’ll live forever.
Not telling people about Jesus’ gift is worse than hiding season tickets. We have something that the world craves. We have news that the world is anxious to hear. And so, let’s not keep this incredible gift to ourselves; let’s share it with as many people as possible.                                                                  This is Andrew Palau.
