Tips to Sharing the Gospel Using a Krazostone

• Remember that you get the reward not because they accept your message; rather, you get the reward because you shared the Gospel faithfully!



• Before using your krazostone, you will need to memorize John 11:25-27. If you don't, you could grind to a halt, and feel silly. We don't want that to happen!



• Read the "instruction sheet" and become familiar with a couple of points that you consider important to share.



• Present your krazostone Greek letters up, oriented correctly, so they see the Greek letters "right side up.”



• Get directly to the point and focus on your message
  
  
  1. Point to the Greek text as you say, "said Jesus, I am the resurrection and the life." Then continue quoting the remainder of John 11:25-27 by memory.
  
  
  
  2. Tie Jesus’ claim directly to raising Lazarus from the tomb.
  
  
  
  3. Discuss our resurrection, yours and theirs, if the Holy Spirit leads that way.
  
  
• Remember that God does not want a slick polished presentation. He wants your heart and obedience. Leave the saving part in God's hands!



• Do a couple of practice runs with a Christian friend to build confidence. Carry the krazostone around. Show it to friends at church and to co-workers.



• You have already taken your first "baby step." Even this, with Christian behavior, honors God! I carry mine in the toe end of an old cotton sock to keep it clean.



• Remember that only a tiny minority will be saved. Be faithful. A lack of response does not mean that you didn’t make a difference. The Gideons lose many Bibles annually.

"Uh, but my co-workers don't know that I am a Christian." Well, don't you think that it's about time they found out?

This may mean that you are challenged to better public behavior as a child of the King! It may also mean that you have an opportunity now to share your personal witness. When sharing your own personal testimony, don't share someone else's, but when and how YOU came to be a Christian. Your personal description of when, where, how, and why you chose Jesus Christ as your Savior is your personal witness. IT IS EXTREMELY POWERFUL! SHARING YOUR PERSONAL TESTIMONY IS THE DIRECT FULFILLMENT OF THE GREAT COMMISSION IN MT. 28:18-20. BELIEF IN JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR SAVIOR IS THE GUARANTEE OF A RESURRECTION UNTO ETERNAL LIFE.

If you have been a "secret Christian," it's time to come out of the closet. Request public Baptism if you have neglected to do so.
