CoJourners: Learning to Share Your Faith

DAY 14 OF 28

The Ultimate Question

Questions are powerful tools to explore spiritual experiences of people and to guide them to a fuller understanding of the gospel. No question gets to the heart of the issue more quickly than the one that Jesus asked Peter and the disciples: “Who do you say I am?” Peter got it right when he declared that Jesus was the Christ. He didn’t fully understand everything yet, but it was an essential step in the journey of faith.

Too often our spiritual conversations touch peripheral issues without engaging this ultimate question. If you want to get to the heart of the matter, ask someone, “What have you decided about Jesus?” That question may take you to a deeper level of spiritual conversation and may help the person take a step forward on her spiritual journey. Remember to clarify who is Jesus and what he has done. That is the heart of the gospel.

Thought: Life’s most important decision is about Jesus.

Take a Step: Look for an opportunity to ask someone on your prayer list, “Who is Jesus to you?” If that person does not believe Jesus is her Savior and Lord, ask if she would be open to conducting an experiment regarding him. Suggest she read one chapter of Mark a day for the next two weeks. Then challenge her to reevaluate her conclusion.

Helping another person come to Christ is one of our greatest privileges as a believer. Yet it can also be intimidating for many of us. The Bible provides insights and encouragement to equip and engage us in the process. Three important truths lay the foundation: Everyone is on a spiritual journey, God is already at work, and he wants to use you. Join us for this 28-day journey together.
