THE
BEST ARGUMENT!
Acts 4:13-14
13
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were
unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them,
that they had been with Jesus.
14
And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say
nothing against it.
Did
you know
that YOU are the best argument for Christianity? You and the way you live your
life in the world is more convincing than Scripture, archaeological finds or
other evidences. When believers began to walk as Jesus walked then the world
took notice.
Did
you know
that YOU are also the best argument AGAINST Christianity? The world knows
enough about Jesus to measure your life by His. The world is discerning,
watching and merciless in its evaluation of your behavior. In a strong moment
you may convince and win a soul but in a weak moment you may damn a soul by
behaving in a way that contradicts your Christian profession.
The
Great Commission
was a charge to reach the world but the believers huddled in Jerusalem more
than three thousand strong. It was the first “mega-church.” Jesus never asked
them to huddle but rather to scatter.

We are called to act out our faith every day. God
works through us to reach those who may never otherwise open the Bible or enter
a church. What's more, He borrows our voice to tell His story and uses our life
to demonstrate His grace and glory.
Dear
Lord, let me faithfully present Christ wherever I go today. AMEN
