When was the last time you talked to someone about our Lord Jesus Christ? When the opportunity came to share about how He is working in your life, did you take advantage of the opportunity?
I would confidently say that Peter and John got the ball rolling with the early Christians' witness concerning our Lord. They were not going to be silent about what they had seen and heard.
So as Christians today, what is our excuse? I am as guilty as any. It is easier to talk about the weather, or about sports, than about Jesus. But for people to come in contact with the one who can change their lives, it is crucial that we make that connection with them. To talk about Jesus, will be the most important words we share.
There was a great persecution that came upon the early church, but I like what Luke says about their effort. "Therefore those who were scattered went everywhere (doing what?) preaching the word." (Acts 8:4) May that be said of us, as we make contact with people everyday; that we went about preaching the word of God, and sharing about Jesus.
So many questions about this life, and the life to come. There is one answer, and we have it. Let's not keep it to ourselves! GP
