Available & Accessible
“And he stayed two full years in his own rented quarters and was welcoming all who came to him…” (Acts 28:30)
Evangelism comes in many forms. In Paul’s case, when he couldn’t go out with the gospel, he made sure the seekers could come in. The key word is ‘welcoming’. Paul had an open-door policy while under house arrest in Rome, and his availability allowed him to continually reach the lost becomes those looking for answers found him to be accessible.
Which begs the question: are we available and accessible? If someone is seeking answers, doing soul-searching, and looking for a welcoming heart to help, would they look to us? If we are too busy for the lost, then we are not available. If we are not interested in people and their problems, we will not be welcoming… and if we are never around the lost, we will not be accessible.
Evangelism involves being genuinely curious about the lives of others so that we make ourselves open to them and their struggles. When our hearts and our doors are open, those who are asking, seeking, and knocking (see Matthew 7:7) might just find Christ through us.
