The Given Giver

As Christians, we have not been called to a work of secrecy or enigma; keeping others in the dark about the goodness of the Lord and His plan of salvation for ALL which was carried out on the cross. We are not to keep the gospel of salvation (John 3:16) hidden in our hearts.
We are chosen and set apart to clear the enigma! We have been given the most precious possession ever, the answer to all of man’s needs. And whenever you get a really nice pair of shoes for Christmas, what do you do with it?
Do you hide the shoes and peep at them once in a while? Or do we wear them out but cover them with a black polythene bag?
NO! I for one would wear it and make sure it gets noticed and complimented by everyone and they’d probably want to have one like mine.
That’s the same thing with our Lord Jesus Christ. He doesn’t want us to keep Him to ourselves but to reveal Him to everyone so that they too can desire and enjoy His Love and the life that He gives .
The best way to get Him known to everyone is through our lifestyles. Just like the Christians in Antioch where we got the name ‘Christians’. They lived in a way that made people find no difference between them and Christ.
Christ didn’t even have to preach to Zacchaeus to get Him saved. Christ gave him what no one had given him: Love! And this made him a changed man forever. This is another perfect example of how to make Christ known by loving people unconditionally.
I do hope you find a reason in your heart to go out and ‘give’ Christ to someone.
