Sharing the Light:
Can be a Delight
You don’t need to be:
- Handsome
- Highly educated
- Verbally dominating
- A Religious expert
To effectively share the light of Christ.
When you are truly devoted to him,
His nature will bleed through you.
It is not always what we say, but how we say it, that leaves the greatest impression.
God is faithful to give you ready illustrations, if you are willing and faithful to share them in a moments notice.
- be instant in season … AND
- he will guide you into all truth
- he will shew you things to come
John 16:13-16 (KJV) 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
Note that God does not promise it will always be easy. That what we share will always be accepted. But what he does say is that what we share will always be worth it, when we do it in faith, following his lead.
Matthew 10:19-20 (KJV) 19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. 20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
2 Timothy 4:2-5 (KJV) 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
