First Steps to Follow JesusSample

Tell others about the fulfillment you’ve found in Jesus

As you follow Jesus, tell others about the fulfillment you’ve found. God will use you to change their lives too.

The Bible tells us to respectfully share the hope we’ve found in Jesus with others. “In your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.” 1 Peter 3:15

One of the most significant memories I have of my grandfather was in my late teens. We had gone to visit him and grandma. They lived a few hours away from us. I saw a spark in my grandpa’s eyes that he had never had before. He had been reading a book about sharing God’s love with others, and it had changed his faith. He had a new excitement in life. He wanted to make a difference in the world, and share God’s love with others. It wasn’t just church as usual anymore, or going through the motions. A spark had lit in his soul. I came to learn that he had been reading a book about sharing Jesus with others, by a man who would later become my friend, Mark Mittelberg. (Mark also helped me write these email devotionals for you!)

Sharing what Jesus has done in your life will energize your life. There is nothing like the great adventure of sharing Jesus with others. 

Who do you know who needs to hear about what Jesus has done in your life? Share with them today.

It has been a privilege to join you on the journey of your first steps to follow Jesus. I pray God continues to bless you and keep you as you follow Him.
