Sharing Jesus
Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples. (John 13:35 NLT)
Love your people. That means that the thing that calls us out as Jesus’ followers is not only how we treat strangers, but specifically how we treat other Christians. I daresay Jesus knew that anyone can put up a good front and be kind to a stranger for a moment, but what really shows your heart is how you treat those within your own house, church, or faith.
Don’t be a hypocrite. If you’re often grouchy, moody, gossipy, or mean, it’s kind of hard to slip in a “Jesus loves you” to the cashier and have any hope of anyone believing you. Most of our relationships are with the people we see regularly at work, school, in our neighborhoods—and consistently showing up cheerful, caring, and ready to serve can make an impact.
Be natural. Not every witness needs to be intense, and this type of casual conversation can plant seeds of interest.
These are pretty basic pointers, but sharing Jesus—in one way or another—should be a pretty basic, regular part of our everyday lives. —Marie Alvero [1]
…May brighten someone’s face. A little deed from a Christian’s heart May bless a weary soul. A little boost when the battle’s hard May take one to his goal. —Walter E. Isenhour (from. A little boost)
