Evangelism Is Like an Usher's Obligation to Rescue Others

The story goes that a young man applied for a job as an usher at a theater in the mall. The manager asked him, "What would you do in case a fire breaks out?"

The young guy answered, "Don't worry about me. I'd get out okay."

That's how we respond sometimes. "What would you do if Jesus came back tomorrow?" "Oh, don't worry about me. I'd be okay." But you're a (Christian)! It isn't enough just to get out yourself. You are responsible for helping others get out.
