You Have a Part to Play
It is God’s desire to empower His people to be his witnesses throughout the world. He has done so, and continues to do so.
Colin Smith: Open the Bible with Colin Smith. On the day of Pentecost, people from every nation under heaven had gathered in Jerusalem. And when the Holy Spirit was poured out, these believers spoke in languages they'd never learned. The people were astonished. How is it that we hear them in our own language?
Every Christian has a part to play in God's great purpose. For some people, that will mean going to another culture and learning another language. For others, God's call will be to find your voice in the language He has already given you.
See, God has wired you in a way that makes it possible for you to communicate to a certain group of people. Maybe you can speak the language of high schoolers or of children. God has put people around you so that you can communicate the good news of Jesus in their language. Are you open to discovering what the Bible says about God? Well then, come to openthebible.org.
