Sharing Jesus, We are not Billboards!

Billboards are everywhere. No matter where you travel, there is some signboard displaying some ad. Because they hoard our highways, it’s become second nature to ignore them.

As we trudge through Dallas’ traffic, I gave their billboards a chance to sell themselves. Most of these ads, I observed, are herded together, so its understanding that most of them are overlooked. It’s like the souvenir vendor appealing to passerby’s in a fish market. It’s seemingly impossible to get over the noise.

I thought about us who carry the Gospel. How we are trying to herald God’s redemptive plan for mankind over the noise of the world. It could be easy for people to confuse our message with another commercial.

“I don’t want your Jesus!”
“I’ll receive Christ when I’m ready”
“That’s good for you. But what you’re saying is just not for me.”

Heard this before? Don’t these responses sound like we were advertising some product to convenience their lives?

But we’re not!

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, (Titus 2:11 NKJV)

We are imparting the hope of the world!

We are declaring Christ who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works. (Titus 2:14 NKJV)

Please world listen to what we have to say is important!

Hear us out! We are not billboards!
