Earlier this year, we challenged you to tell someone about Jesus; now, during this Christmas season,
we're challenging you to do it again. Evangelism is not a gift, but rather a command from Christ.
You should not go up to someone expecting to say and do everything perfectly, and that is all right.
In 1 Corinthians 2 verses 1-5, Paul writes, “And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming
to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except
Jesus Christ and Him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, and my
speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of
power, so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.”
Take on an attitude like Paul’s, share the Gospel to the best of your ability, and leave the results up to God (see also
Romans 9:16).
Kindness is contagious!
