Listening To The Word - 1 Year

DAY 351 OF 365

Proclaim What We’ve Seen and Heard

2 Peter 1:16
“We did not follow cleverly invented stories when we told you about the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eye witnesses of his majesty.”

1 John 1:1
“That which…we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched – this we proclaim concerning the Word of life.”

When we share with others what we have experienced of Jesus, what he has taught us, the ways he has touched or transformed our lives – we are speaking from a place of authority and authenticity. The theology of the apostles was lived out in daily interactions with Jesus and the experiences of living mission together. When theology is not shared from our personal experience it becomes legalistic and sterile. Peter and John led many thousands to faith and discipled many others to know and follow Jesus as they recounted the stories and principles Jesus taught them and that they had experienced through obedience. Let us teach and lead the same way!

Lord Jesus, guard my tongue from sharing truths or principles that have not yet been worked through my life.
