Jesus goes viral 2000 yrs ago. Missional is launched!


And the world thinks viral is a new concept. Not! Jesus went viral a
couple thousand years ago and didn't even have a computer or sound
system. The message was that strong. It couldn't be contained!
 
There was God and the Word from which Jesus became flesh and hung out
for about 30 years while John prepared the way. Then, the missional
was launched! John's message was drafted by God and communicated to a
people anxious for the stories of old to be fulfilled. His message
went like this...
 
"The One who authorized me to baptize with water told me, 'The One on
whom you see the Spirit come down and stay, this One will baptize with
the Holy Spirit.' That's exactly what I saw happen, and I'm telling
you, there's no question about it: This is the Son of God." John
 
It went viral! "Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two who
heard John's witness and followed Jesus. The first thing he did after
finding where Jesus lived was find his own brother, Simon..."
Family, friends and then the world!
 
Two thousand years later, the Word is still being shared. Some
believe. Some reject. The impact of the message is no less powerful
today, then when John said He is coming!
