Time to Share

Part of our homeschool day involves us reading out of the Bible.  Lately, I have been letting my boys pick what scripture they would like to hear from.  This has been great because it has given them some freedom in deciding what area they would like to learn and they are more eager to listen since they chose.  It has also led to great discussion and this morning was a very good discussion.
My oldest son seems to enjoy the book of Revelation so he chose for us to read Chapters 20 and 21.  We had stopped periodically to discuss the chapter and once we had finished Chapter 20 they both had huge eyes and I could tell they wanted to share their thoughts with me. 
My middle child, second son, has been attempting to witness to a neighbor teen.  He has given him the basics of salvation, but this teen is stubborn.  After reading this chapter both of my sons recommend that this neighbor teen read this part of Revelation.
The boys pointed out that God is very clear on salvation and if one does not believe in Jesus Christ and their name is not in the Book of Life then they will be cast into the Lake of Fire.
My sons said, "This would be good to share for those who don't believe." 
I couldn't agree more with them.  I then realized that I should be wanting to share like my boys and witnessing to those who are unsaved.  I would not wish to see my friends, family, co-workers, ect. cast into the Lake of Fire when I could have done something about it.
Let us have that desire to share like my middle child!  I admire him for that!  He is a good testimony to us all!
