Talking About Jesus
May 8, 2014
Read: 2 Corinthians 4:1-6
Former major league baseball player Tony Graffanino tells of an ongoing ministry effort in a European country. Each year his organization holds a week-long baseball camp. During this week they also offer a daily Bible study. In past years, the leader tried to find reasoned ways to convince the campers that God exists so they would place their faith in Him. After about 13 years, they had seen only 3 people decide to follow Jesus.
Then they changed their approach, says Graffanino. Instead of trying to present facts, or winning arguments for a debate, they simply talked about the amazing life and teachings of Jesus. As a result, more campers came to listen, and more chose to follow Him.
The apostle Paul said that when we tell others about the gospel of Jesus Christ, we should set forth the truth plainly. . . . We do not preach ourselves, he said, but Jesus Christ as Lord (2 Cor. 4:2,5 niv). This was Pauls standard for evangelism: I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified (1 Cor. 2:2).
We should be knowledgeable about the Bible and about the reasons for our belief, and sometimes we need to explain those reasons. But the most compelling and effective story we can tell puts Christ in the center.
Father God, please use me in the lives of others.
Remind me to talk about who Jesus is and His life
and teachings. And not to be dragged into debates,
but to share Jesus amazing life.
The risen Christ is the reason for our witness.
Todays reading showcases a remarkable spiritual reality concerning those who are resistant to the gospel. But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ . . . should shine on them (vv.3-4). The apostle Paul tells us that Satan, the god of this age, has produced a form of spiritual blindness that hinders ones perception of the reality of Jesus Christ. Spiritual blindness can only be overcome by the light of Christ (v.6).

Good evening, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

Yes and tomorrow rain comes back. My grass now needs to be cut but ground is still very wet. We live in a clay based island. Drainage is always an issue
