Sharing Jesus Today's Devotional Read: Isaiah Bible in a Year: Psalms 2–4; 1 Corinthians :–34 Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done. Isaiah :4 Shortly after Dwight Moody (1837–99) came to faith in Christ, the evangelist resolved not to let a day pass without sharing God’s good news with at least one person. On busy days, he’d sometimes forget his resolution until late. One night, he was in bed before he remembered. As he stepped outside, he thought, No one will be out in this pouring rain. Just then he saw a man walking down the street. Moody rushed over and asked to stand under his umbrella to avoid the rain. When granted permission, he asked, “Have you any shelter in the time of storm? Could I tell you about Jesus?” Moody embodied a readiness to share how God saves us from the consequences of our sins. He obeyed God’s instructions to the Israelites to proclaim His name and “make known among the nations what he has done” (Isaiah :4). Not only were God’s people called to “proclaim that his name is exalted” (v. 4), but they were also to share how He had “become [their] salvation” (v. 2). Centuries later, our call remains to tell the wonders of Jesus becoming a man, dying on the cross, and rising again. Perhaps we heard about God’s love when, as Moody did, someone left their comfort zone to talk with us about Jesus. And we too, each in our own way, can let someone know about the One who saves. What has God done in your life that you can share with another? How has He equipped you to present the good news? Jesus, thank You for setting me free from my sins. Help me to be ready to tell others of Your good news.

It is one thing to share Jesus and the goodness of the Gospel, it is quite another to beat people up with it and chase them away, especially if your actions do not line up with your words. Sometimes the best way to tell people about Jesus is just to show the difference in our lives that He has made. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.
