How do you share Christ with others? Do you feel a responsibility to share Him? And, if you're honest, how would you rate yourself in doing so?
I believe there are really just two ways to share Jesus: live it and speak it. Speaking can take many forms—writing, videos, podcasts, or simply verbal conversations.
I’m reminded of when God told Moses to go to Egypt and confront Pharaoh about releasing God’s people from slavery. Moses was hesitant, overwhelmed, and didn’t feel equipped.
He said to God, *“Please, Lord, I have never been a skilled speaker. Even now, after talking to you, I cannot speak well. I speak slowly and can’t find the best words.”* (Exodus 4:10, NCV)
It was no small request from God - Moses was being asked to do something dangerous and terrifying.
Yet, God reassured him:
“Who made a person’s mouth? And who makes someone deaf or not able to speak? Or who gives a person sight or blindness? It is I, the Lord. Now go! I will help you speak, and I will teach you what to say.”* (Exodus 4:11–12, NCV)
God calls us, too, to share the good news of the gospel. The message is simple: “Jesus died to pay for our sins, and if we believe, we will be forgiven and saved for eternity.”
It doesn’t have to be complicated.
Even Jesus’ parting words to His disciples were a clear instruction:
“So go and make followers of all people in the world. Baptize them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach them to obey everything that I have taught you, and I will be with you always, even until the end of this age.”* (Matthew 28:19–20, NCV)
The truth is, we naturally share what we love. And we are all His disciples.
Think about it - if we love football, we talk about it. If we love our job, working out, good restaurants, or our children’s achievements, we can’t help but share.
So, what are you sharing these days? What fills your conversations and social media posts?
I know people who are facing death, and they could talk about how Jesus is walking with them through that long, hard mile.
I know older folks struggling with boredom and the challenges of retirement; maybe they could share how Christ gives them purpose and peace in these years.
I know people dealing with broken relationships; they could share how they lean into God, seek His wisdom, and rely on the Holy Spirit for healing and help.
It all boils down to love. What we love is what we talk about, what we share, what overflows from our hearts.
So the real question is: Do we love Jesus enough to share Him?
LORD, help us love You more deeply - Your Word, Your life-saving message, and Your gift of eternal life through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Help us share how you help us when we are in trouble. Thank You for providing a way to be saved and forgiven from our sins. May that love overflow from our hearts into the lives of others. IJNIP ❤️
