"Everything"

28Jesus knew that his mission was now finished, and to fulfill Scripture he said, “I am thirsty.”g 29A jar of sour wine was sitting there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put it on a hyssop branch, and held it up to his lips. 30When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “It is finished!” Then he bowed his head and released his spirit. 31It was the day of preparation, and the Jewish leaders didn’t want the bodies hanging there the next day, which was the Sabbath (and a very special Sabbath, because it was the Passover). So they asked Pilate to hasten their deaths by ordering that their legs be broken. Then their bodies could be taken down. 32So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the two men crucified with Jesus. 33But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was already dead, so they didn’t break his legs. 34One of the soldiers, however, pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water flowed out. 35(This report is from an eyewitness giving an accurate account. He speaks the truth so that you also can believe.h) 36These things happened in fulfillment of the Scriptures that say, “Not one of his bones will be broken,”i 37and “They will look on the one they pierced.”j
Just a not so gentle reminder that Jesus, the Christ of God, gave His life for you. If you claim to belive this, then it behooves you to act like it. One: stop playing church and BE the church. Jesus Christ, by the power of the Holy Spirit, lives in you and want to minister in this dying world through you. Daycares and community clean-up projects are nice, but if we are not preaching about the saving grace of Jesus, we are wasting our time as a church. Remember – every person you know and every person that you don’t know is one heartbeat away from heaven or hell. If that doesn’t matter to you, well… Two: If you truly love people with the love of Jesus, you will tell them the truth. You will tell them about sin and forgiveness, about heaven and hell, and that the true power of living is found in our submission to our creator through Jesus, the Christ. It has been said that if we lose the ”holiday” of Christmas, we lose only a couple of chapters at the beginning of Matthew and Luke; but if we lose the resurrection – we lose everything.

We shouldn't keep others from knowing the bad parts of our belief. If we truly want to save them of their sins, then they should know everything. God didn't forbid us from telling everything to others. It's actually better to tell others about the good and the bad, instead of sticking to one side of the story. If we blind them of what's right, then they won't be fully committed to their passion and faith.
