March has arrived and the first quarter of the year is nearly completed.  It is difficult to realize that we are only one month away from Easter.  With that in mind I want to encourage you to use this month to reach people for our Lord.  We must use our time wisely lest it be wasted.

A motorist was driving through a remote section of the country.  After stopping in a small village for something to eat, he noticed that his wristwatch had stopped.  As he paused on the porch of the small cafe, he turned to an individual who was obviously from the area and said: "I wonder if you could tell me what time it is?"  "It's twelve o'clock," drawled the man.  "Only twelve o'clock?" questioned the traveler.  "I thought it was much more than that."

"It's never more than that around this part of the country," replied the man.  "It goes up to twelve o'clock and then starts all over again."  In truth, we all have exactly the same amount of time, no more and no less.  God holds each of us accountable for how that time is used.

Easter is perhaps our best opportunity to reach new people for our Lord.  More people attend worship on Easter Sunday than any other day.  This has become part of our culture.  Since people are more likely to attend on Easter, we have an advantage in drawing them to Sunday School and Worship Services between now and that day.  This month could be the most important month in the life of a friend or family member simply because you used the time to invite them to Church.  Reach our to someone before the clock starts over.
 

Easter’s Coming!
