WITNESSING
The simple truth, whether we like it or not, is that religion can be a substitute for Christianity.
Will you ask yourself this: is your experience one of a vague religious sense, say that there is a God, a purpose behind all things, an inspired Bible, a historic person called Christ whose teaching you admire, and whose personality you love, or is it Christianity? Is it, in other words, that you are committed to a way of life, that you are entering more and more fully into a living and definite experience with Christ which is changing your life? If it is the first you have nothing to pass on.
If it is the second you cannot, however reticent, but long to find some way or another in which others can be brought into that experience which is changing you …..
Do let us take this matter of our relation to others seriously. No man is fully won to Christ unless his personality is reaching out to bring others into the experience. It is incredible that we can possess the real thing and keep it as dark as some of us keep our religion. After all, a chill falls upon the spirit if one contemplates what would have happened if the earliest Christians of all had done no more to spread their experience than we have done. Supposing they had settled down in
Jerusalem, a little body of men and women meeting together every week in the Upper Room, exchanging experiences, worshipping together, singing hymns, listening to sermons from one another. The Christian Church would have been extinct within half a century of Christ’s death.
But what did happen at once? They went throughout the known world preaching this glorious good news, that there was a transforming communicable experience of salvation for every man and woman. or did they say to themselves what I have heard people say: “Very well then, I suppose I had better begin to tell others.” The thing simply burst from them. They could not keep it in.
Leslie D. Weatherhead (1893-1976)
