This week Chris continued our iDareU2 series by daring us to share. There is always a potential risk when we are dared to do something so there is always a level of courage that we must have. What we have to remember is that courage is not the absence of fear, it’s the faith that God will be with us in the midst of that fear. Christ’s last words to his followers were to go and make disciples, “go”. . . when is the last time you went and shared the gospel? In order to go and share, we have to start at home, Romans 5:8 tells us that “God demonstrated His love for us in this: while we were still sinners Christ died for us.” That is an amazing thought about the hope that we have in this life and the power that is in Christ, we should be running to tell people about the unending hope and love we have in Christ. Chris also shared with us the easiest way to start sharing the good news: talk about Jesus! Talk about His history and His story (His true story!). We must also remember that we only succeed in the Spirits power, man’s power can conform people to a pattern of religion but it can’t transform hearts, in order for hearts and minds to be transformed you must have the Holy Spirit and God in his mercy to extend grace. How can you do this? Study Jesus, His claims and His story. But above all, your most powerful tool to share Christ and His good news is YOU! Your story before Christ, your transformation through Christ and the journey and path you share with Him now! Trust God, be yourself and remember the powerful closing quote from Sunday. . . “Sometimes we’re so concerned with being tactful, we make no contact.”
Praying that each of us would have an opportunity this week to share the amazing story of Christ with those around us!
