Jesus demonstrates the proper way to share the Gospel with others: he is willing to talk to people who are very different from him who some consider "enemies"; he treats people with respect and dignity; he establishes a close personal relationship; he doesn't lead with condemnation or rebukes; he is tender, loving and patient, expressing a genuine hope of helping them; he expresses a willingness to first meet people's physical and emotional needs before addressing their spiritual needs...and when the time is right, he shares the truth of the "good news".

Jesus self-identifies as the "Messiah", or "Anointed One", which is derived from the Greek word Χριστός (Christos) which literally means "to wipe or smear oil on someone". Jesus claims he is the Messiah long-predicted by the Jewish Bible (Old Testament), but goes even further by claiming ἐγώ εἰμι (ego eimi), or literally "I AM"...a direct reference to his divinity because that is one of God's personal names first revealed to Moses.

Jesus emphasizes that evangelism is a collective effort: each person who serves and shares the Gospel is a link in a long chain that eventually leads to acceptance of Christ for those who believe. And according to Jesus, the harvest is already ripe for gathering...there are millions of people out their who are already receptive to the Word and ready to commit their lives to Christ, we just have to find them!
