John
1:43-51, Psalms 34:8, Psalms
66:5
Now that we've talked about why we should talk to our friends about
Jesus, the next question becomes: WHAT are we supposed to be talking to them
about?
As you're about to read in these verses, there's a man named Philip who
meets Jesus at the very beginning of His ministry. After being told to follow
Jesus, he runs to his brother Nathanael & tells him all about Jesus.
Nathanael is more than skeptical, even saying that nothing good could come from
Jesus' hometown: they're a bunch of losers. Philip's words are powerful and
they are the same words we use to invite someone to church: "come and
see."
In other words, Jesus has changed my life, come and see what He can do
in your life. We're simply beggars telling other beggars where to find food.
Many times we make it more complicated than it is: we don't need to know
everything about God or the Bible. All we need to know is what God did for us
& tell our friends that He can do the same for them!
Practical Steps //
Take the chance this week to invite at least one person to church. If they ask
why, just tell them you want them to 'come and see' how awesome it is and how
God could change their life.
