Attraction Not Promotion
In worship this morning my wife mentioned the passage from Zecharaiah 8:23-

This is what the LORD Almighty says: "In those days ten men from all languages and nations will take firm hold of one Jew by the hem of his robe and say, ‘Let us go with you, because we have heard that God is with you."

Can you imagine ten people from all over walking up to a person of God and saying this? (Ten, of course is a 'minyan' or the minimum number of men needed for worship.) Can you imagine that the power of God would be so visible in us that people would stop us on the street and want us to take them to God? Can you imagine? Neither can I, unfortunately. Instead we try to convince people to believe what we say. We try to use promotion and persuasion to get people to believe. We work hard at debate and ways of presenting the Gospel when what Zecharaiah says is that we will be attractive to others and they will want what we have.

In short, it is not our promotion of ourselves or of Jesus. BE a person of God- be different. People will see, know, and want to follow.
