When I was baptized, my pastor invited the three of us to start a new habit to strengthen our relationship with God. I chose creative writing as my outlet. A couple of weeks ago, I wrote a devotional about telling the world about Jesus, and submitted it to a devotional site. So, I decided to analyze songs as devotionals, and here's the first one:
1 Corinthians 1:17 ESV - “For Christ did not send send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with words of eloquent wisdom, lest the Cross of Christ be emptied of its power.” “Let’s tell the world all the things we’ve done,” is part of a song by Eric Hutchinson. Although the song may not be Christian, that part carries a resemblance to what we are called to do as Christians - preach and share the good news of the gospel. Sharing the good news and telling the world all that we’ve done is quite simple actually, and by telling one person, you can tell the whole world. It starts with telling how Jesus died on the cross for our sins, and rose from the dead after three days. That’s all it takes - a seed being planted in someone’s heart, and as the gardener, God will tend to it and make that passion and curiosity about Christianity grow stronger. Today, think about how you can tell someone about the Gospel, and put it into action. Give someone a Bible, or pray with them, or just sit with them and talk. God’s love can be seen through any of those things, and when the time is right, they’ll find it.
