The great
commission from Jesus Christ is to “go and make disciples.” Do you find it
challenging, awkward or scary to bring up Jesus in a conversation? Have you
missed opportunities to share your faith? I know I have. I believe, if we are
truly looking, God will place the right people at the right time in front of
us. All He asks is that we plant the seeds.
The Holy Spirit
knows when a heart is seeking. As believers, we can jump in and assist in God’s
work. I find that an impossibly amazing fact. God actually uses us! The Holy
Spirit will give us the words. (Matthew 10:19) Let’s be ready the next time an
opportunity arises.
After their arrest,
Peter and John were told by the rulers not to speak of Jesus. Even then, they
could not keep the hope to themselves.
For we cannot help but speak of all we have seen
and heard. Acts 4:20
Are you
filled with the hope and joy of Jesus and His eternal hope? Let’s be ready!
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
Lord,
Fill us with courage, with gentleness, and with respect and
give us answers to share with those who ask. You do not want to lose even one.
Amen
