TEXT: MARK 16:15-20
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

MESSAGE
Joseph shared the love of Jesus with Francis, his friend, at different times, but Francis refused to surrender his life to Jesus. This made Joseph very sad because it was their last term in school before going to the High School.
Joseph was afraid that he might never get to see his friend again because they would be going to different High Schools. He was disturbed that even after praying to God for Francis to be saved, he still remained a sinner. Two years after, Joseph was happy to see Francis in his church. Guess what happened? Francis later repented and is now a friend of Jesus.
You must not allow discouragement to stop you from sharing the love of Jesus with others. Keep telling children about the love of Jesus even if all of them do not repent immediately. Every effort you make by giving out tracts, living righteously and praying for sinners to repent, counts.
Are you a friend of Jesus? Make up your mind never to get tired of sharing the gospel of Jesus. If you are not yet one, ask Jesus to forgive you and come into your heart.
Remember, there are rewards waiting for children who are obedient and faithful to the task of telling others about the love of Jesus. Would you be part of the faithful? Ask Jesus for grace.
Prayer: Lord, please help me to tell someone about the love of Jesus.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
