Share a Snapshot

Yesterday’s devo was about the woman at the well.

After Jesus talked to her and revealed himself to her, right at the well where she drew water every day, she went and told many people.  What she told them was, “He told me everything I ever did.”  Jesus had told her that she had five husbands, and the one she was living with now wasn’t her husband.  This amazed her that Jesus knew even the hidden things in her life!

Talking to others about Jesus is really that simple.  We just relay to them the junk we used to have in our heart and how he spoke to it and removed it.  Maybe we were once lonely and depressed, and Jesus came to live with us and filled us with joy and hope.  That’s all we have to share.  Real life, real hurts, real answers.

Folks can watch good stories on the television or big screen, and they can read awesome tales in a book.  But when they hear a friend reveal a change or share a healing, they want to come see for themselves what it’s all about.

I recently saw on the internet where someone took a picture of a church building from just the right angle and it looked like a chicken.  People  are now showing up in mass numbers to see this weird angled view, not to see Jesus.

Maybe we need a snapshot of the transformation in our lives that will draw others to see…and believe.
