How to Wait Well: Share Jesus

by David Chadwick


Jesus’s return is imminent. Therefore, we must “be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might” (Ephesians 6:10).


As we learn to wait well for our soon and coming King, we must pray and praise, love our neighbors, be self-controlled and sober-minded, live excitedly and expectantly. And finally, today’s tip, we must share Jesus!


We must never be ashamed of sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ (Romans 1:16). It is the power of God for complete and total life transformation. The hope of the world is not found in a political party or candidate, but only in a relationship with Jesus.


The message we carry as followers of Jesus is the hope of the world!


Yes, the gospel is about knowing our utter depravity and sinfulness (Romans 3:23). And our eternal destination is eternal separation from God if we don’t receive forgiveness. But it is also about knowing Jesus’s enormous grace and forgiveness that gives us the gift of eternal life (Romans 6:23).


We share this gospel with others knowing that we are in sales and God is in management. It’s not optional but a command from the one who died for us (Matthew 28:19). As we respond in obedience to make disciples of Jesus, he promises we will receive power through the Holy Spirit to be his witnesses to the end of the earth (Acts 1:8).


Sharing Jesus is not as complicated as some people have made it out to be. It’s really about sharing your story. How Jesus changed you. People can try to argue the gospel, but they can’t argue your life change.


Read the story of the blind man in John 9. He could easily conclude that Jesus was the Messiah because of his own story. He was blind, but now could see! And that’s what he shared with others.


When Jesus returns, let him find you sharing the gospel with someone who doesn’t know him. It’s a command, not optional.


Then watch his smile increase as he says to you, “Well done!”
