Reaching Your World with Luis Palau

Evangelism for the Old


Listen Later

Following Jesus is always a journey, and some of us have been on that journey for many years. I have found that my spiritual life changes as I get older. I continue to learn about Jesus in new ways the more I spend time with Him and the more challenges and joys life throws my way. My life as a Christ follower looks different than it did 40 years ago, but it is just as rich and beautiful. Maybe even more so.
For some of us older folks who have been following Jesus a long time, we can sometimes forget that the job of evangelism falls to us too. Perhaps we find ourselves constantly surrounded by fellow believers, our friends and family. Maybe we find ourselves very invested in one particular faith community. These are great things. But at the same time, Christ calls us to reach those who do not yet know Him. They live in darkness.
We can take our example from Anna, the old prophetess who fasted and prayed in the temple. She was waiting for the Messiah. Once she met the child Jesus, the Bible sys “She began to give thanks to God and to speak of him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.” She couldn’t help herself.
There are countless stories of missionaries who served in the mission field until they were 70, 80, or even 90 years old. Their work wasn’t finished. Our work is never finished either. Continue spreading the love of God that has blessed you for so long.
