Big Moments: Witness
SEPTEMBER 24, 2022

You are the light of the world…. Let your light shine before others.
Matthew 5:14, 16, NIV

Recommended Reading: Matthew 5:13-16
According to Christianity Today, Christian teenagers don’t know a lot about traditional evangelism, but they’re eager to talk with friends about the Lord. The magazine told of Treyson West, who was recently sitting with a friend in a car talking about the struggles of life. As Treyson talked about God, the friend said, “My heart feels, like, warm.”

“Dude, that’s the Holy Spirit,” said Treyson. The friend received Christ as Savior there in the car.[1]

Learning to share our faith in a natural way is a big step. It can be frightening, but much of the fear evaporates when we make it natural. When we learn to converse, listen, care, and pray, the Lord opens the door for our witness. Often, our words will be like seeds planted in the heart, but sometimes we’ll rejoice at seeing others profess faith in Christ in the moment. We can say, “That’s the Holy Spirit!”

Today find a way to take a small step toward a big moment. Find a way to share Christ simply, naturally, and lovingly.

You don’t have to use fancy methods for sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ. Just stick with the basics, and proclaim the Good News with simplicity!
