THROUGH US…How does God speak to us? That is an age-old question. Here’s a couple things I’ve observed. First, the more we walk with Christ, the more we hear His voice. Second, that the way He introduces Himself to new people is different than the way He speaks with those who walk in daily friendship with Him. Lets look deeper at this. Just how does Christ introduce Himself?
“We are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us.” ~II Cor. 5:20
Strange as it might seem, He introduces Himself to lost people through our words. That’s amazing isn’t it. That’s why its important that we have a way and a time and a redemptive environment to talk that way to searchers…because Christ really wants to be introduced to them. And after the introduction, He further needs our words to make an appeal to them, that they welcome His influence into their lives. I don’t know why the Lord hasn’t decided to introduce Himself by mystically showing up and doing divine stuff…really grabbing their attention. If I were God, I think I would opt for such an introduction. But no, He has chosen to make His first introduction through the simplicity of our words. He has decided to wait until we make friends with lost people, then introduce our Divine friend to our new friends. That’s the way He likes it. His entry into their lives happens THROUGH US! ~verlon
