So what does Jesus mean to the skater on the street? How
are you going to reach them?
In Australia, we have a huge teenage youth culture that
on weekends you go to the local party and get drunk, if
that party's no good, you move on. Some life. Many of them
can't even remember the night they just had, or they wake
up having done something they regret. This generation is
difficult to reach, as there are so many things that they
can rely on keep themselves occupied with rather than their
creator. The latest phone, work, parties, boyfriend, girlfriend,
shopping - they all help to fill the kids lives with what
they believe is 'meaning'.
So how can we show them that Jesus is the answer?
There is such an urgency to let them know.
I'm in the State Emergency Service, and we perform many
types of rescues. I must say that I don't have too many
dreams at night, and when I have them I don't usually remember
them. This one particular time I did. We were doing some
sort of building collapse, and the roof started caving in,
and my team-mate didn't get out and was crushed. My thought
was 'I know where he is now.' My team-mates in the rescue
unit aren't Christians. Without a doubt, at the moment when
they die, they are going to hell.
So how can we show them that Jesus is the answer?
There is such an urgency to let them know.
The business people of this world who sit in top level
offices overlooking cities, fighting with other fellow workers
about coffee types. They have the best furniture, the best
computer that money can buy, the best mobile phone, the
best plants. Some even have bars in their offices. Where
is it going to get them? Are they happy? Do their three
children that they see on Saturday mornings watching television
give them meaning? How are their wives that don't want to
know them anymore and are trying to divorce them.
So how can we show them that Jesus is the answer?
There is such an urgency to let them know.
I wonder when I see people walking around town 'Why don't
they understand? Have they ever heard the gospel?' I ask
that you fulfill the mission that Jesus gave us in Matthew
28 in the Great Commission.
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in
heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go
and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded
you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end
of the age." (MAT 28:18-20 NIV)
