Two words; servant & witness.  Jesus spoke to Paul and commissioned him to two specific tasks.  To be a servant and to be a witness.  I believe these words should describe every person who claims to be a follower of Christ.

Jesus said, "I did not come to be served, but to serve and to give my life as a ransom for many."  He also said in His commission to every disciple, "You will be my witnesses."  It is on the wings of these two commands that the gospel spreads.  As we serve others and share Christ's love for them, they will be drawn in to the family of God.

Which comes easier for you?  Serving or sharing?  Both are great ways to advance to gospel, but together they make the message clear.  Some serve without sharing.  Others share without serving.  One without the other is incomplete and will not lead to the greatest understanding of the message. 

Make it your goal to be great at both.  Serve the Lord by serving others, and in that context, share the good news of Jesus with everyone you come in contact with.  Serving opens the opportunity to share.  Speaking the truth gives the opportunity for others to respond and believe.

Be bold today.  You might get a chance to share with a King!
