Good News to Tell

Bible in a Year: 1 Samuel 13-14; Luke 10:1-24

Philip began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus.
Acts 8:35

Today's Scripture & Insight: Acts 8:26-35

"What's your name?" asked Arman, an Iranian student. After I told him my name is Estera, his face lit up as he exclaimed, "We have a similar name in Farsi, it's Setare!" That small connection opened up an amazing conversation. I told him I was named after a Bible character, "Esther," a Jewish queen in Persia (present-day Iran). Starting with her story, I shared the good news of Jesus. As a result of our conversation, Arman started attending a weekly Bible study to learn more about Christ.

One of Jesus's followers, Philip, guided by the Holy Spirit, asked a question that ignited a conversation with an Ethiopian official traveling in his chariot: "Do you understand what you are reading?" (Acts 8:30). The Ethiopian man was reading a passage from the book of Isaiah and seeking spiritual insight. So Philip's question came at the right time. He invited Philip to sit next to him and in humility listened. Philip, realizing what an amazing opportunity this was, "began with that very passage of Scripture and told him the good news about Jesus" (v. 35).

Like Philip, we too have good news to tell. Let's seize the daily occasions we encounter in our workplace, at the grocery store, or in our neighborhood. May we allow the Holy Spirit to guide our steps and give us the words to share our hope and joy in Jesus.

Today's Reflection
How will you prepare yourself to be more open to speaking to others about Jesus? What encouragement do you gain from Philip's example?

HOW PERSUADED?

In 2 Timothy 4:10, Demas - a co-labourer with Paul was floored by his love for the world. He became a victim of comfort. Today, many people are also becoming prayerless and shifting their or trust from God to uncertain riches. They are now tending towards the belief that money can fix everything. If you are in such...More

A LESSON FROM GOLIATH

At the first sight of David, Goliath despised him. He was amazed that the children of Israel could find no other man to fight him than a young boy. As if that was not enough, Goliath did not see any conventional weapon of war on David. So he asked, "Am I a dog?" The first lesson we have to learn from this story as...More
