Be a Living, Talking, Walking Example of Jesus

Posted by: Angie Schultz on Thursday, April 2nd, 2009

Good afternoon everyone! Hope that everyone is having a great day and is able to go outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. Thank you to everyone who is serving in our Children’s Ministry. Thank you for planting seeds of Truth into our kids hearts each week! Thank you for taking time to invest into the next generation.

This morning while I was reading, I came across a verse that I want to share with you:

“Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.”

~ Colossians 4:5-6

Everyday we come into contact with people who do not have a relationship with Jesus. What I love about this verse is that it tells us to make the most of every opportunity. With the people that we encounter that don’t know Jesus, or are not believers – we are called to make the most of that opportunity we have with them. Through what we say and how we say it – to speak the Truth in love to them. I was so convicted when I read these verses – do I make the most of every chance I have with someone who does not have a relationship with Jesus? Am I showing God’ s love and grace to the opportunities I have each day with people that are unbelievers? We all need to take the moments we have each day with people and be a living, talking, walking example of Jesus to them.

Allowing God to use us through our conversations – to allow Him to work in our words will create a thirst, a desire in the lives of others. They will long to know more of Jesus. This week take a look at who God has placed in your path that does not have a relationship with Him and allow Him to work through you. God is good.
