A Personal Evangelist Scott Pauley

Permit me to share with you something personal that God has been doing in my own heart. Week after week I am introduced to speak in some public meeting as an “evangelist.” Am I? Are you?

In our world, the term has become synonymous with one who travels extensively and preaches publicly. The evangelist is one whose great passion is the salvation of lost souls. This passion is not bound by geography or confined to a certain setting. It is the passion of his life.

I am currently helping to teach an online class for the Crown Graduate School and Seminary on “Teaching and Preaching the Bible.” The students were required recently to read one of D.L. Moody’s gospel messages. In it, the passion of the evangelist was revealed. Moody’s heart was not simply to reach the lost in public settings, but to do so in personal ones.

A true evangelist is an evangelist all the time. His heart is fixed on Christ and the desire to bring others to Him.

The biblical evangelist is an extension of the Evangel, Jesus Christ. Remember that He went about preaching the gospel everywhere He went! So should we.

Like me, you may preach in public meetings. Or you may be one of the majority of Christians who will never preach a sermon publicly. In either case, it is possible to be a personal evangelist. Wherever you are, whoever you meet, whatever your tasks, make it your business today to seek the salvation of some soul for whom Christ died.

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20)

Mathematically, it is impossible that one man could fulfill so many unique prophecies, many of which were related to the actions of others toward him. How can you orchestrate your death in such a specific manner i.e. By crucifixion (not invented) between criminals, being given vinegar to drink while dying, being killed at the hands of the Gentiles, after being betrayed by your dear friend? These are a fraction of the hundreds of such prophecies Jesus fulfilled. It is only possible if that Man was the God-man - Jesus Christ. Our Approach The prophecies in our list are many of those connected to the circumstances, surroundings, characteristics, events, manners, and traits that the Lord Jesus fulfilled during His earthly ministry. It is by no means comprehensive but serves as a reference and devotional guide to those seeking the Lord Jesus. Types and figures have been omitted, for they are woven throughout the entirety of Scripture. Truly, every part of the Written Word points to the Word made flesh, Who dwelt among us (John 1:14). We trust this list of 55 prophecies about the first coming of Christ will serve to demonstrate the total confidence you can have that Jesus is the Messiah, the Redeemer, The Son of God.
