Reflection - Richard DeHaan - One-To-One

 There is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents. - Luke 15:10

Read: Luke 15:1-7
 

During His short public ministry of about 3 years, Jesus spent many hours reaching and healing people - one at a time. Although the Savior preached to multitudes in Galilee and Judea and was often surrounded by a great crowd, He was never too busy to minister to men, women, and children one-to-one.

One day, when a house at Capernaum was filled with people eager to hear the Master's words, He stopped to give attention to a sick man who had been let down through the roof (Mark 2:1-12).

On another occasion, the Savior singled out a man of short stature who had climbed a sycamore tree in order to see Him. Jesus stopped, looked up, and said, "Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today" (Luke 19:5). Jesus also spent time with individuals in private, teaching them, guiding them, and challenging them to believe in Him (John 3:1-21; 4:1-26).

Never underestimate the value of your one-to-one witness for Christ. If you ever wonder about the worth of your personal, individual witness, remember Jesus' example and what He said in Luke 15:10: "There is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

The best tact in leading a person to Christ is contact.

And love that soul through me;
And may I nobly do my part
To win that soul for Thee. - Tucker
