FOR YOU
Today's reading: Acts 13-14

"Brothers--you sons of Abraham, and also all of you devout Gentiles who fear the God of Israel--this salvation is for us!" Acts 13:26 NLT

I notice a few things about Paul's words...

1.  He was excited to share the Gospel message. Notice the exclamation point?

2.  He was speaking to church folks. He could have assumed they knew. He could have gone on the assumption that they were 'good people'. He brought the message to the church people, who were supposed to know it already. He even spoke it to the blood-relatives of Christ!

3.  He included himself. He did not separate himself. He did not let them think he was exempt from the need of Christ's forgiveness. He was not selling them something he himself had not tasted for himself.

Makes me think about what I'm sharing. Who I'm sharing it with. With that intensity I'm sharing. Why I'm sharing what I'm sharing. If I'm sharing at all.
