Fan or Player

John and Paul are brothers and since they were children have been fans of Baseball. However, there was a time when the two boys began to differentiate. While John continued to enjoy baseball as a fan, Paul decided to be a player and put so much effort and perseverance to his work, that he became a player in the team both brothers were fans. Now, the two brothers, as adults, are still fans of the same team. But while John just enjoys talking about his team, reading the articles and watching the games, Paul really works hard to make sure his team wins. So it is with Christ. You can be a fan of Jesus, speaking, reading and enjoying the meetings or you can choose to be a player and work with commitment and perseverance to make "the team win." Jesus said: So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields. You decide: are you going to be talker or maker? will you read the word or obey it? and finally, will you just enjoy being a christian or work for Jesus? That's the difference between fans and players and Jesus is not looking for fans but workers.
