When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman. Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” John 8:9 NLT
Lifestyle Evangelism
The Lord will help you to present Jesus to people in a way they never expected. Be prepared to show His goodness to a lost and hurting world.
It’s not enough to just teach Jesus. You and I need to teach the goodness of Jesus through selfless acts of service and demonstrations of what Heaven values.
You see, the world doesn’t believe that God is good. Life is hard. Loved ones get sick or addicted. People die. There are more mouths to feed than money. Jobs are lost and disasters seem to strike from all sides.
Though God doesn’t cause these things to happen – we live in this fallen world as the consequence of sin – people believe that when bad invades their life, God is getting revenge for something they did wrong.
So, what do you tell the lost, hurting, and downright angry? Simple. Tell them God is not mad at them. Through the sacrifice of Jesus, we have been reconciled to the Father. That means there is no animosity between us.
God’s not mad at anyone!
That’s good news to a dying world that has fashioned God in the image of man – vengeful, spiteful, and filled with anger. You and I need to paint a different picture of who God is with our actions. We need to paint Him as good, because He is. How people are treated in Heaven should be how people are treated on earth by those who bear the name of Christ. Let’s paint a new face – the true face – of God for all the world to see.
A face that loves His creation. A face that is good.
Grounded in Faith
Declare!
I know and serve Jesus, who loves and cares for every person created. I live my life with my eyes open to see ways to show the world who He is so they can know His love, too. I am intentional about how I treat others and what I say to others. I am aware that I may be the only example of who Jesus is on their path today; I will make sure I don’t miss what God wants to do in their heart.
