About

1 Leave a comment on paragraph 1 0 Social media gives us, as followers of Jesus, unprecedented opportunities to share the hope we have in Christ. Smartphones, apps, and high speed Internet connectivity provide Christians with powerful platforms to “pocket share Jesus” with a world full of darkness in need of his liberating Gospel message. The Psalmist reminds us that praise for God should always be on our lips.

4 Leave a comment on paragraph 4 0 Our love for Jesus, the visible ways Christ acts in our lives daily, and the transforming power of God’s Holy Spirit should not be hidden from others. While we are called to personally witness to the reality and power of God in our lives with others around us face-to-face, we should seize hold of the powerful communication tools in our purses and our pockets to share the Gospel message with others in our social networks online and extended digital communities. God uses the voices and experiences of us, his people, to reach others with the liberating Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The prophet Isaiah heard God asking, “Who should I send?” Like Isaiah, when we hear this call from the Lord we should be quick to answer, “Lord, send me!”

9 Leave a comment on paragraph 9 0 After his resurrection from the dead, Jesus continued to walk among and teach his disciples. Before he ascended to be with God our Father in heaven, Jesus commanded all of his followers to go unto the ends of the earth and preach the gospel, witnessing to everyone about the love of God and His invitation to everyone to know him through his son, Jesus Christ. Even some of the disciples who saw Jesus in the flesh and walked with him doubted, but he encouraged them to believe and tell others about the reasons for their faith. At the end of his gospel, Matthew shared what we now understand to be the “Great Commission” of Jesus.

10 Leave a comment on paragraph 10 0 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
