Give Someone a Jump

“I will also make you a light for the Gentiles,
       that you may bring my salvation to the ends of the earth.” Isaiah 49:6

Props: 2 car batteries and a set of jumper cables

            Have you ever been with your parents when their car breaks down?  It can be really frustrating—especially if it’s hot outside or you have somewhere to get to quickly.  Many times the problem is a dead battery.  The battery has lost its power, but it’s not without hope.  It just needs a jump from a battery with power.  (Hold up jumper cables).  The battery with power is connected to the dead battery with these cables.  The cables don’t have the power, but they are used to transfer the power from one battery to the other.  So they are used to bring “life” to the powerless battery.

            God wants you to do the same thing for those who are “dead” in their spirit because they do not know Him.  You cannot give eternal life to anyone, but you can “connect” people to God, and He can forgive their sins and give them eternal life.  How do you “connect” people to God?  Pray for them.  Be an example of God’s love by loving them.  Tell them about your relationship with God, and how God can give them eternal life and help them through this life.  

            Give someone a “jump”—share God’s love with them.  You can make a difference.
