"And the multitude said, This is Jesus
the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee."
- Matthew 21:11

Call it the biggest oversight in history.

I still can't believe that I did it.

But, I did.

A couple of years ago my only aunt passed away.  Naturally, my wife and I went to the visitation in the neighboring town where my aunt had lived the last several years of her life.  Since neither she, nor any other members of our family had a church home, we asked my pastor to perform the funeral service.  Naturally, he went with us that night to the visitation at the funeral home.

We arrived at the funeral home and walked in.  One of the first people that I saw was my uncle (my deceased aunt's brother) who I had not seen in about 10 years.  I walked quickly up to him and said hello.  Then, I did a strange thing.  I said...

 ..."I'd like to introduce you to my pastor, Duane Smith."

They shook hands.  And then they looked at me.  Both had rather odd looks on their faces, almost looks of disbelief, like I had forgotten something important.  There was a moment of silence and then my pastor and my uncle kind of blurted out at the same time...

 ..."Aren't you going to introduce your wife!"

Ooooops.  For whatever reason (I still haven't gotten it figured out) I forgot to introduce my lovely wife, Paula, to my uncle.  He had never met her and naturally was expecting an introduction.  Instead of introducing the most important person in my life, I overlooked her completely.   Yep, you can call it the biggest oversight in history.

Well, make that the SECOND biggest oversight in history.  The biggest oversight in history is when we fail to introduce others to THE most important person in our lives, the Lord Jesus Christ.

You see, there are many occasions for introductions.  We introduce new co-workers, new neighbors and acquaintances to other folks we know.  We introduce our friends to our family members.  We introduce visitors to other church members.

But, how often do we introduce others to Jesus?

Are we like myself at the funeral home that night...overlooking the most important introduction we can make?

What about you, Christian?  What about TODAY?  Will you introduce someone to the Savior of the world?

Have a "Wonderful DAY in Christ,"
