Preach Jesus, and if you must, use words.

I grew up during a time where preachers in my little country church preached fire and brimstone. I was scared to death of them.

They didn’t seem to do a whole lot of listening. But, to their credit, they did preach from the Bible. Their message was to the point. If you don’t surrender your life to Jesus (they preached), you will go to hell!

Well, I did surrender my life to Jesus when I was 16 years old. The problem was, no one came along beside me to teach me this new life. I guess they all expected me to change my ways and follow Jesus, without any other guidance.

I now know that even after you give your life to Jesus, you need discipleship. What does this look like? It’s when mature Christian helps you learn how to read the Bible. It’s someone who can help you understand how Jesus wants us to live.

I’m not going to go around and preach to others who aren’t saved. My goal is to live a life, pleasing to God and appetizing to the non-believer.

I won’t preach Jesus; I will live it out daily.

So, when someone I don’t know looks at me, they see someone that is happy, peaceful and a person that has a servant heart and attitude.

Let others see Jesus in you.

Matthew 5:16 - “In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
