Mateo 25: 40CRUZAR LA CALLE. O cruzar el salón. En opinión de Bill Hybels, esto es todo lo que a veces se requiere para que una persona reciba el mayor regalo que alguna vez se le pueda ofrecer: conocer a Dios que también estuvo dispuesto a «cruzar» la distancia entre el cielo y la tierra con tal de salvarla. *¿De dónde hemos sacado la idea de que, cuanto más extraordinario es nuestro servicio a Dios, mayor es la gloria que le damos a su nombre? ¿O que, para testificar como misioneros, tenemos que trasladarnos a lejanas tierras? Muchas veces son los actos más sencillos y «ordinarios» los que más enaltecen el nombre de Dios. Y a menudo, basta con «cruzar la calle», o «cruzar el salón», para realizarlos, tal como lo ilustra el siguiente relato.Cuenta el pastor Chad Stuart que la noche de su conversión, cuando llegó al programa de recepción de sábado, este ya había comenzado; así que se sentó en la parte de atrás. Al poco rato, el capellán de la institución anunció que celebrarían el rito de humildad. Apenas Chad escuchó esas palabras, se paró para esfumarse, pero alguien lo agarró por el brazo.--Chad, ¿puedo lavarte los pies?A Chad no le gustó participar en el rito de humildad. Para colmo, lo invitó a un estudiante que no era de su grado. Sorpresivamente, Chad se encontró, sin imaginar que una sorpresa mayor venía en camino. Y es que apenas el compañero de estudios terminó de lavarle los pies, el capellán hizo un llamado para aceptar a Cristo.«Cuando decidí cruzar la calle para ir a la iglesia contó Chad-, no tenía idea de que todo esto iba a suceder. Así como quedé sorprendido al decir “sí” al lavatorio de pies, igualmente quedé asombrado al colocarme de pie cuando el capellán preguntó quién quería decir: “Jesús, te entrego mi corazón”. Fue la mayor decisión de mi vida, y todo porque alguien estuvo dispuesto a "cruzar el salón", solo para decirme: "¿Te puedo lavar los pies?"». **¿Te gustaría hacer algo especial hoy por el Señor Jesús? No extraordinario, sino especial. Entonces haz algo en favor de otra persona: una palabra de ánimo, un gesto de compasión, un bocado de pan, un vaso de agua... Para ello, no tienes que ir muy lejos; solo, quizás, «cruzar la calle», o «cruzar el salón»: en el vecindario, la oficina, el colegio...Si el Hijo de Dios «cruzó la eternidad» con tal de salvarnos, ¿será mucho pedirnos que «crucemos la calle» por uno de sus hermanitos más pequeños? Dios de maravillas, que tanto arriesgaste con tal de salvarme, ayúdame hoy a compartir con quienes me rodean el inefable don de tu salvación.* Bill Hybels, Just Walk Across the Room, Zondervan, 2006, p. 29. ** Chad Stuart, «Crossing the Room», en Adventist Review, mayo de 2015, pp. 36-37.

Tito 3:5, NVIUN DÍA BILL HYBELS, pastor y autor, se encontró en las costas del Lago Míchigan cuando sintió el vivo deseo de visitar el campamento donde siendo un adolescente entregó su corazón a Jesús. Después de todo, el lugar estaba a solo unos 16 kilómetros. Entonces llamó a la única compañía de taxis del pueblo. La respuesta fue negativa. No lo llevarían al lugar, aunque pagara más dinero. Desesperado, Bill preguntó a la secretaria si sabía de alguien que pudiera ayudar. Ahora la respuesta fue afirmativa. Se tratara de un hombre que hara cualquier cosa con tal de ganar un dinerito.Unos 25 minutos después, apareció el «taxista»: de chabacana apariencia, su cuerpo cubierto de tatuajes, manejando una camioneta que casi se desbarataba con el movimiento. Cuando se subió al vehículo, Bill se fijó que el nivel de gasolina estaba en «E» (en mi país decimos: «E» de échale). Cuando Bill le ofreció pagar por la gasolina, el hombre al principio se resistió; luego deberíamos poner solo dos dólares, pero finalmente deberíamos ponerlo «full». Nunca había hecho tal cosa.Cuando llegamos al campamento, Bill le pidió al conductor que lo esperara unos minutos. En solo momentos, Bill dividió el lugar de su conversión. Tenía 17 años. Caminaba de regreso a su cabaña, eso de las 9 de la noche, cuando llegaron a su mente las palabras de Tito 3:5: «Él nos salvó, no por nuestras propias obras de justicia, sino por su misericordia». Desde niño Bill se había aprendido ese texto de memoria, y esa noche lo escuchó con fuerza poderosa. Pero también había aprendido que en la vida nada es gratis. Entonces se preguntó: «¿Podría ser que Dios se interese personalmente en mí, y me salve solo por su misericordia?». Aquella noche, por primera vez, entregó su corazón a Cristo.Ya de regreso al «taxi», el hombre le pregunta qué había ido a hacer a la montaña. Bill le cuenta toda la historia de cómo siendo él un adolescente, justo en ese lugar, le había entregado su vida a Cristo.--¿Cómo es que algo así puede ocurrir? —pregunta, con curiosidad.En los términos más sencillos, Bill le presenta el evangelio de Jesucristo. Después de un largo silencio, el hombre habla.—Pero yo soy un perdedor. ¿Puede algo así sucederle a alguien como yo?Cuando Bill le explica que ante los ojos de Dios no hay perdedores, y que Jesús está anhelando perdonarlo y salvarlo, el hombre responde:-¡Nunca imaginé que este día podría terminar así! Gracias por decir las cosas que dijo de mi. [...]. Creo que este fin de semana voy a ir a la iglesia. * Gracias, bendito Dios, porque tu misericordia se extiende a todo ser humano, incluyendo a los que se creen indignos y perdedores.*Bill Hybels, Just Walk Across the Room, Zondervan, 2006, pp. 11-16.

Based on points from Bill Hybel's book "Just Walk Across the Room," Mike Phillips discusses how Jesus calls us to get out of our comfort zones when it comes to telling others about Him. Here's practical advice on how to do just that.
Pointing UP Worth Pursuing Romans 5:8 8But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Luke 19:1-10 Jesus left the fellowship of the trinity, the glory of the Godhead, the praise and adoration of the angels, and wrapped himself in humanity to reach out to people like you and me. John 17:5 5And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. He left the glory of heaven to pursue us on the earth, making an incredible statement that “people are worth pursuing.” What does it take to see people come to know Christ? Usually, someone has to leave what’s comfortable and step out into the unknown and take a risk. “Almost without exception, Christ-followers tell me that their faith stories involve someone somewhere who took a risk to walk across a room and to reflect the curiosity, kindness, and love of Christ. Someone somewhere made the decision to take the gift they’d been given and bestow it on them – at the time, a wayward soul living very far from God.” – from Just Walk Across the Room by Bill Hybels Are you willing to step out of your comfort zone? If you are, you may find yourself being used by God to influence someone’s life and eternity. We have different comfort zones. Our homes. Our families. Our friends. But if Christians hang out at home, with their families, and with Christian friends, how do the lost get found? How do the down-and-out get connected to God? When you’ve been a Christian for a while, you can tend to have less and less contact with the lost. Where do you have contact with the lost? At the grocery store? A restaurant? At work? At school? We must sometimes leave what’s comfortable for what’s imperative. People are worth pursuing. Work I eat lunch at work every day with close friends. But God has been pressing on me to leave my comfort zone so I can spend that time talking to the man across the building who’s going through a divorce. We’ve had a number of discussions where I got to tell him about how God saved my marriage. Now I’ve been able to tell him about the grace and strength that comes from a relationship with Christ. I need to talk the guy from India down the hall, Restaurant We have some friends that ate a particular restaurant frequently. They liked the food there, but they also found a woman there, the owner, who was far away from her home in Asia. Over a period of months, they made conversation with her and got to know her. Over time, they got to talk about their faith with her. Is the God that you know worth knowing? Would other people love the relationship with God that you have? Would you be willing to leave your comfort zone for the zone of the unknown? You don’t have to save the whole world. Just pursue who God puts in your path. Is there one person that God has already laid on your heart and mind to pursue? You may find yourself being used by God to influence someone’s life and eternity. People are worth pursuing.
