Simon (Peter) Says

 

But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect. 1 Peter 3:15

     Are you ready to give an answer for the hope within you? Will you be able to speak up for Jesus when an opportunity arises, like Peter, with no fear? Can you share the love that has transformed your life? Peter’s last words in this verse are a good reminder to us as we share Jesus; “…do this with gentleness and respect.”

     My greatest desire, my deepest heart-felt prayer, my urgent hope, is for everyone I know and love to know Christ.  Be gentle. Respect others and their opinions. But be ready to give an answer for your joy and peace. Be ready to share the Gospel, the good news of Jesus. Eternity is at stake. Maybe someone will witness the hope within you today.

Jesus,

Our hearts long for others to know You and the power of Your resurrection. Everything depends on You. One day soon, all evil will be placed under Your feet. Sin will be vanquished once and for all, and those who believe will be with You forever.

Amen
