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
