Devotional Reflection
Rich or poor, young or old, weak or strong, thin or fat, there is still only one message, one name, and one story that matters forever. The gospel tells the world about that one message, story, and name. Jesus Christ is God's good news to the world. In the story of Jesus Christ, God's good news about life is The Story, The Message, and The Hope for everyone.
Prayer
Make me more courageous to share the Gospel today, Great Redeemer. Give me eyes to see the people who are awaiting transformation. Fill me with your Spirit so that I can joyfully share the good news of Jesus without feeling embarrassed. Fill my life with the joyful expectation of Jesus' triumphant return so that I can passionately share it with others and they may learn of your grace. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
Are you ashamed? Culture tries to make us feel bad about our faith by portraying people of faith as stupid, insensitive, judgmental, and hypocritical. Are you ashamed? Are you willing to share your faith with people who don't know Jesus as their Lord in a humble and kind way? Are you ashamed? Your hero left heaven to come to earth and risked everything so that you could go back to heaven with Him. This Gospel has a lot of power. This Gospel will change your life. Everyone can be saved by this Gospel and what it says. So let's not be ashamed. Instead, let's be happy and give thanks for this amazing gift.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, please give me the wisdom, sensitivity, and courage to tell people who don't know Jesus as their Lord and Savior about Your wonderful story of grace. In Jesus' precious name, I pray. Amen.
