There it is people, our lives in a picture. If you are plugged in and your light is shining, then there you are in the chair. You are in the hot seat, which is in the spotlight. The darkness -- that is the world around you. In that darkness are millions of other people in chairs that could be in a spotlight as well, but instead they are just sitting there going about their day-to-day lives.
So, how do you get others into the spotlight as well? How about moving the chair and bringing others into the light with you? That is what evangelism really is. You are moving around the stage (world) with a spotlight on you bringing people into the light from the darkness. You do this by becoming a part of their lives. You take an interest in others and become a part of their lives. Then, through all of that, you eventually get into discussions about life and faith and let him or her know that you have a personal relationship with a God who wants to know him or her as well.
That effort that you take as you are plugged in and shining your light for God in the world could eventually cause a stage (world) full of spotlights shining for God, working on getting more and more lights onto the stage. What a great place we’ll live in once this occurs! Live in the light, people, and bring others along with you. Let’s light up this place!
