Sharing the Good News
So Paul stood up in front of the council and said: People of Athens, I see that you are very religious… God has done all this, so that we will look for him and reach out and find him. He isn’t far from any of us, and he gives us the power to live, to move, and to be who we are. “We are his children,” just as some of your poets have said.
Acts 17:22, 27-28 (CEV)
In a powerful, wealthy city filled with statues and temples built to glorify all kinds of gods stood a simple man from another country talking about one, all-powerful God—a Christian named Paul. Even though he was a stranger, he came with a powerful message that caught people’s attention.
Paul told the people about Jesus, about how he came back to life after being killed! On hearing this, some started laughing; others mocked. Impossible! To the well-educated people of Athens, the idea was ridiculous. They had the best teachers in the world! Did Paul think he knew better? Most shrugged and walked away. But others continued to hear him speak messages around the city. And some believed and began to follow Jesus Christ. Praise God!
When you tell others about Jesus, you can’t control how they will respond. Some may act like they don’t need God. Some may even make fun of you. And some may listen to your words. Just like God used Paul, he can use you to help others find him.
Will you be bold in telling others about the life-saving love of Jesus Christ? This week, ask God to show you who needs to hear this message. And then ask him for the bravery to share it!
