A Mercedes Benz commercial shows two cars colliding into a cement wall during a safety test. Someone asks the company spokesman why they don't protect their patent on the Mercedes' energy-absorbing car body. The spokesman replies, "Because some things in life are too important not to share."

Yes, Mercedes Benz seems so understand that the safety of life is so important that they need to share to as many people as possible. This is what Jesus wants to do: as we have received salvation in Jesus, both in this world and in eternal life, we should not keep it nor trade it. We need to share it freely to every people we know and meet.

When the early churches received this commandment, they found it hard to do. They were persecuted; they had no communication devices, internet, or plane. But they decided to obey and go to the ends of the earth sharing gospel in Jesus.

Today we live in a very different world, but the Great Commandment remains. We have been armed with everything we need to complete the task. But the decision is ours, whether we will share the good news, or stop working out our salvation. Though we may not do the calling, other people would. However, we would lose the blessings by not being the messenger.

 

Because some things in life are too important not to share.
