What do we do with this Gospel, the Good News of a
transformed heart? With the overflowing abundant love? With the gratitude of
receiving new life? How can we keep it to ourselves? Changed hearts can’t help
but be exposed. Those that have felt the power and the presence of Jesus have
to share.
Peter
and John had been put in jail and they were commanded not to speak about Jesus
anymore and this is what they said:
As
for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard. Acts 4:20
After
that they prayed for even greater boldness. (Acts 4:29) Jesus told us to watch
for the signs that the end was drawing near, including wars and rumors of wars,
nation against nation, an increase in earthquakes, that Israel would be back in
the land and that wickedness would increase.
God has
us here during an incredible season. Our light is not to be hidden. (Matthew 5).
We are to shine like stars in a dark and depraved generation. (Philippians 2) The Holy Spirit will give us courage to speak in love. The name of Jesus is
more powerful than any other name. Speak it and share it. The world is
searching for their Savior.
Salvation
is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to
mankind by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12
Dear Father,
We come humbly before You to thank You for the
saving grace of Your Son. By His sacrifice we are saved. Allow us to be Your
servants as we speak the good news of salvation to others. His coming is near.
Thank You for the privilege.
In the powerful name of Jesus,
Amen
