Beggars and Bread
March 21, 2016
Me, too. Isn't it interesting to hear someone who isn't afraid to tell others what Jesus Christ has done for her?
Too many times, Christians tend to lose sight of the bigger picture when it comes to sharing our faith. We become fearful of what others may think of us, or we may worry that we'll be asked a question that we don't know the answer to. If we think that way, we're forgetting how lost we really were without Jesus Christ, and how much others really need Him.
Missionary D. T. Niles described Christianity simply as "one beggar telling another beggar where to find bread." I like that.
One final thought. What has Jesus done for you? Take a moment to think of a simple way to tell others, "I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see."
I'm Dennis Rainey, and that's Real, Gospel-sharing FamilyLife.
