1. FROM

2. There once was a lumberjack who supposedly got saved. He worked chopping down trees in the Canadian forests. One day a pastor witnessed to him & led him to Jesus. The pastor told him, “ Jake! Now that you have Jesus in your heart, your life is going to change! ” “ How? ”, asked Jake! “ Well, look here in 2 Corinthians 5:17: ” “ If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things have passd away, all things have become new! ”

3. “ So I want to warn you Jake, that when you get back to that lumber camp, it ’ s going to be very difficult for you! ” “ Why so pastor? ” “ Because, as you know, most of those lumberjacks are tough, hard, wicked men, and they don ’ t like Christians! ” “ But Jake, you ’ ll no longer be the same as you were before, cursing God, speaking foul language & doing evil things! You ’ re going to be so different they will persecute you! ” “ Oh! ” said Jake …

4. So Jake went back to the camp … A few months later, he came back & met the pastor on the street, & the pastor said, "Jake, how did it go?” "Oh, just fine, Pastor," he answered. "Well, I told you it was gonna be hard, didn't I?" the Pastor asked. "No, no, it wasn't hard. Not at all!" "You mean, they didn't persecute you or make it hard for you?" “Oh, No! You see... they never even found out I was a Christian!"

5. Jesus loves you If you really believe in & love Jesus, you ’ re gonna talk about him & share his love with others! Like Sophie, the washer-woman … … who was made fun of one day, by someone who had seen her talk about Jesus to a wooden Indian in front of a cigar store! Sophie perked up and replied, “ Maybe I did; my eyesight isn ’ t so good anymore! But talking to a wooden Indian about Jesus is not as bad as being a wooden Christian and never talking about Jesus to to anyone!

6. If you have the love of Jesus you CANNOT hide it! A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid, & if men have a candlestick, they don't put it under the table, they put it on the table that it may give light to the whole house! (Mat. 5:14,15) If you have this Light, you cannot hide it--it's impossible! We have to tell others about Him! If you believe it, if you have Him in your heart, if you have His Love, you'll show it, you'll tell others & you'll share it with them! This is what faith is all about!--Standing up & witnessing for Jesus & the Truth!
