Jesus had a very simple strategy for spreading the good news. He employed three methods: teaching, preaching and healing. And each method was designed to reach a different audience.

Jesus was very intentional about living among those who needed the gospel. He went to their parties, ate meals in their homes, and served them in the midst of everyday life. Jesus valued every single person he encountered and so must we. Jesus intentionally made disciples.

Once you believe in Jesus’ work for you in his death, burial and resurrection, your faith in Jesus instantly changes your standing before God. This is why the gospel is of first importance to us now as believers. It’s full of good news. We rest in that good news and we want to share that good news.

This knowing doesn’t just happen. Knowing Jesus and becoming like Him takes effort. Make no mistake. Too many Christians think that just going to Church will help them become more like Jesus (and that does help). But what we see here is that knowing Jesus is like running to win a race. It takes training, it takes work and it takes resolve. That’s why Paul says, “This one thing I do.” He’s passionately pursuing a greater knowledge of Jesus with all the energy within him.

You may not think that your story of faith in Jesus Christ is all that significant. But during this pandemic, God may use your faithfulness, your hope, or your love to spread the gospel to a neighbor. So let me ask you: Are you ready to tell your story? God has positioned you for such a time as this. You have a story to tell, and God has someone near you who is ready to listen.

When I remember WHAT God saved me from, WHO He was willing to sacrifice for me, HOW much he has forgiven me, and ALL He has given me… then every time I encounter an SELFISH, PRIDEFUL, MALICE-FILLED, HATE-FILLED FOOL, that would normally be intolerable – I can see them with new eyes – the eyes of the redeemed, then I too can give them the same kindness God gave me.

God who formed your heart, wants to be reunited with you. The Father wants you to know Him. The Father wants you to be with Him in an eternal relationship. Your relationship with Him is the number one thing on His heart. Like Joseph, we were lost and He’s done everything in His power to bring you home to Him. That’s why He sent Jesus. This is the gospel in a nut shell: For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. 1 Peter 3:18 Nothing heals a broken heart more than being reunited with the one you love.

With the arrival of Jesus comes the good news of God’s grace. There is now help for the helpless, healing for the hurting, and hope for the hopeless, and it is all found in Jesus.
