God's Economy - Door to Door Christianity

Jesus never knocked on doors to spread the Gospel.

I know I just got cut off from a lot of church folks but that's ok.

The Bible does tell us to go tell the Gospel (Mark 16:15). I don't dispute that for a second.

The thing is that Jesus effectively spread the Gospel and didn't knock on a single door. 

Doing this always terrified me as a child because I didn't feel comfortable walking up to complete strangers and because I hated when people did it to me. 9 time out of 10 I always left those situations feeling harassed.

Jesus didn't harass people with the Gospel. Instead He did these three things.

1. His Reputation Preceded Him
   If you are a kind, loving person who is living right people will tell other people about you and the God you serve. Your life is your testimony. The way you live your life is a much greater witness then anything you say,
2. He Had Organic Conversations that Led to Kingdom Conversations
   I never outright tell people about Christ. Mostly because, as a kid, I disliked those people. However, if you get to know me you will know I rock with God the long way and what He means to me.
3. Where He Walked He Brought the Gospel with Him
   Jesus walked. A lot. And where He went He brought the Gospel. When you walk out your door the Gospel is going with you because it is in you. If you are ever asked about your faith you should be ready to share it as Jesus was.

Even I don't open the door to those who walk door to door. Our life is our strongest testament of the Good News. We don't have a telling quota, you just have to be willing to share Jesus where you are.
