TALKING ABOUT JESUS

READ:

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
-1 Corinthians 2:2

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
2 Kings 13-14
John 2

Former major league basketball player, Tony Graffanino, tells of an ongoing ministry effort in a European country. Each year his organization holds a week-long baseball camp. During this week they also offer a daily Bible study. In the past three years, the leader tried to find reasoned ways to convince the campers that God exists so they would place their in Him.
After about 13 years, they had seen only 3 people decide to follow Jesus.
Then they changed their approach, says Graffanino. Instead of "trying to present facts, or winning arguments for a debate," they simply talked about "the amazing life and teachings of Jesus." As a result, more campers came to listen, and more chose to follow Him.
The apostle Paul said that when we tell others about the gospel of Jesus Christ, we should set "forth the truth plainlyWe do not preach ourselves," he said, "but Jesus Christ as Lord" (2 Corinthians 4:2,5 NIV). This was Paul's standard for evangelism: "I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified" (1 Corinthians 2:2).
We should be knowledgeable about the Bible and about the reasons for our belief, and sometimes we need to explain those reasons. But the most compelling and effective story we can tell puts Christ in the center. - Dave Branon
Father God, please use me in the lives of others. Remind me to talk about who Jesus is and about His life and teachings. And not to be dragged into debates but to share Jesus' amazing life.

The risen Christ is the reason for our witness.
