Our Lord’s disciples are to be sent to evangelize the world. How are they to do it?
What is the first thing to consider?
You notice what our Lord puts first: It is sanctification:
“Sanctify them, for the work needs to be done in them before it can ever be done in the world.”
There is nothing that appalls me so much as the almost incredible way in which Christian people seem to ignore entirely the teaching of the Scriptures with regard to methods of evangelism.
In the Scriptures from beginning to end, the emphasis is on the messenger, not his external methods.
It is on his character and his being and on his relationship to God.
John 17:18
