Speak of Him

Speak of Him

Guest Blog by Gary Riedel

S - SCRIPTURE:

Luke 2:38 And coming up at that very hour she began to give thanks to God and to speak of Him to all who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem.

O-OBSERVATION: 

This is the response of Anna the prophetess to meeting Jesus for the first time! She did not keep it to herself but spoke of Him to all. What an example for us, she was excited to share the good news that she had met Jesus to all she encountered.

A-APPLICATION: 

So what about me, and what about us? If we know Jesus are we as excited to share as Anna? Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes to the Jew first and also to the Greek. This gospel is all about the good news of Jesus that so excited Anna. We too should not be ashamed of the gospel but proclaim it so that Christ’s work of Redemption saves many, for this is God’s will.  

1 Timothy 2:4 Who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. The truth that Jesus died to save the world! May we all be bold to speak of HIM!

P - PRAYER: 

Gracious Father, May we be bold to share Jesus just like Anna, and May You send Your Spirit into the hearts of those who hear, that many might be saved, after all that’s what Christmas is really all about. In Jesus Name, Amen
