What Must I Do?

6. What does Jesus want us to do for the Sawi?

Jesus wants us, His friends and family members, to introduce Him to the Sawi, just like what Don Richardson did. He wants us to guide the Sawi to Him so they become Christians; however, He doesn’t want us to force or deceive the Sawi to make them into Christians. He wants us to befriend the Sawi and show them how wonderful He is so they desire Him and love Him. Jesus also wants us to not judge people like the Sawi because of their immoral actions. Instead, we must understand their customs and try to teach them the immorality of their actions.

But… why is it so important for Jesus to have the Sawi or just people know Him?

A teacher once gave me this analogy: if there was an excellent chef who invited you to his house, the chef is supposed to provide you with an excellent meal that is made with the best of his ability. If the chef merely ordered pizza or cooked a really simple dish, then you would not be satisfied. Jesus’ best gift to us is Himself because He is absolutely wonderful. If He gave us anything else, we will not be satisfied.

In other words, Jesus wants people to know Him because He is the best thing He can provide for us.

Jesus also desires us to know Him because He wants us to be a part of His amazing, everlasting family.

Jesus is not being prideful or selfish when He wants everyone to know Him. In fact, it is the complete opposite. Jesus is loving and selfless because He wants us to have the best gift and wants us to be happy.
