CoJourners: Learning to Share Your FaithSample
Divine Appointments
There are people at the threshold of faith, ready to believe in Jesus if someone will simply explain how. Why do we fail to recognize this? It might be that we’ve gotten used to looking at people based on external appearances rather than internal realities. We think, “She looks like she has got life under control.” Or “I don’t think that person would want to talk about Jesus.” Yet, God may have prepared them to hear the good news about Jesus, the same good news Philip shared with this man.
Philip probed a bit, didn’t he? He asked a question to gage what the man understood. His efforts were rewarded with genuine spiritual interest.
Thought: The desire to understand reveals spiritual openness.
Take a Step: Ask questions of someone to find out if he or she understands what it means to have a relationship with Jesus.
