Why is it so important to tell those we love about Jesus? 

Many people say this to those they love, “I will miss you in heaven”.  They may also say, “I will be sad if you are in hell”.  But will you be?

Revelation 21:4 states, “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”

In heaven, there will be no more sorrow, pain, or crying.  God wants you to be eternally happy in heaven.  I am looking forward to that.

Will we miss our loved ones in heaven?  The answer is, we will not. There will not be any pity parties in heaven.  God says emphatically that there will be no pain, sorrow, or crying in heaven.  If a loved one is in hell and you know about it, that could produce those feelings.

God will not allow you to remember those who did not accept Jesus.  He will not allow you to be sad at all.  Heaven is a place of eternal joy and there is no place for any sadness.

If you want those you love to be with you in heaven one day, you need to tell them about Jesus now.  They need to make a choice.  This is about eternity.  It is the most important decision that anyone has to make, whether they know it or not.  They need to know how important this choice is.

I have had many people say to me, “you will miss me in heaven”, or “you will be sorry I am not there”.  The truth is, I will not.  I will not even know that they ever existed in my life, because Jesus wants us to be happy forever.  Jesus will not allow anything to ruin that for us.  There will be no painful memories in heaven.

I will not miss them, but I tell them that I don’t want to miss them. I want them to be there too.  So, I plead with them to accept Jesus before it is too late.

If you want revival in your life, in your church, and in your family, there needs to be an urgency about introducing people to a relationship with Jesus.

We need to share in love, but we also cannot soft sell this.  This is the most important thing that every human needs to know.  We cannot play around with this. 

If you truly love someone, don’t ever stop trying to introduce them to Jesus.  A close relative of mine is an atheist.  Every time we talk, I bring up Jesus.  He said that we would talk more if I would not bring up Jesus so much.  I tell him that I can’t not talk about Jesus, that it is too important.  He says don’t worry about me, and I say that I can’t stop worrying about you.  He says you will just see me in hell, and I tell him, brother no I won’t, because if you do not accept Jesus, I won’t even know you ever existed and I want to know you forever.

Don’t give up on the one’s you love. Yes, they may not want to hear about Jesus, but they need to. It is the only question that really matters in this world.

Remember Jesus loves you, I love you, and you are awesome!
