Stories (Cont...)

I wrote about the usefulness of stories as my first blog (see below). I missed some stuff out.

Why isn't Jesus so present in our lives that we have to talk about him? 

If I love a football team I always bring them up, If I love a girl I can't stop thinking and talking about her, if I meet someone new I want to tell people about them, if something unusual or funny happens in my day I want to spread it, if I have a good pizza from the JCR then people know, if I enjoy some new music, if I think something is funny, if I think something is sad, I love to talk about it, to tell people about it. I love to gossip.

Why isn't Jesus as easy as that? Why can't I gossip about him? Why isn't it natural?

I love Jesus. Why isn't he cropping up in my every conversation?!

We need to be gossiping about him, spreading rumours about his work, lighting fires in peoples hearts, planting seeds that the gardener can tend to.

We need to start spreading the gospel...!
