“Preach….
JESUS”

Scripture Text – I Corinthians 1:21-24


Have you ever wondered why the church is in the world? Is it to praise and worship? We will do that in heaven. The thing we can do here that we will not do in heaven is to reach the lost. So, the prime objective of the church is simply “Preach Jesus.”

The role of preaching Jesus is not limited to pastors and evangelists. Every believer has been called to let his light shine and to be salt. Every believer is to proclaim the good news – Jesus saves!

Jesus Is The Message
Have you noticed how easy it is to talk to strangers about the weather or children or the job, but not to talk about Jesus?

But, Jesus is the message…

* To the lost, Jesus is the way.

* To the lonely, Jesus is the friend
that sticks closer than a brother.

* To the child, Jesus is the Father
to the fatherless.

* To the sick, Jesus is the Great
Physician.

* To the addicted, Jesus is the
Deliverer.

* To the broken hearted, Jesus
heals the heart.

* To the dying, Jesus is the
resurrection.

* To the sinner, Jesus is the
Savior.

* To the church, Jesus is the Lord.

Jesus is the message. He is the answer. He is the hope for the hopeless, help for the helpless, and balm for the wounded. Buddha says, “There is a way,” Muhammad says, “Look for the way,” and Confucius says, “Seek the way,” but Jesus says, “I am the way.” Preach Jesus!

There Is Power In The Message
Paul said, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation…”! The book of Acts teaches us that God works most powerfully through churches that preach Jesus. Preaching Jesus changes lives, as Peter saw on the day of Pentecost when 3,000 souls were saved. It wasn’t the message of Darwin that changed my life. It wasn’t the message of self-help or democracy that brought peace to this troubled soul. No! It was the message of Jesus. It was the message of the healing stream that flowed from Emmanuel’s veins. Preach Jesus! There is power in the message. Power to open prison doors of sin. Power to lift the condemnation. Power to overcome guilt.

We Have Been Empowered To Preach The Message
In Acts 1:8, Jesus said, “Ye shall receive power… and ye shall be witnesses…” God didn’t give the church power simply to shout. He gives power to be witnesses. The power of God is never nearer than when you talk about Jesus. Preach Jesus to that neighbor whose husband left her. Preach Jesus to that addicted soul. Preach Jesus! You have the authority to be a witness.

Jesus is the message; there is power in the message and you are empowered to preach the message. Preach Jesus!
