How Do You Show Jesus to Others?

April 29, 2024

Ponder This

I asked someone recently, “What caused you to come to our church?” He said, “You won’t believe this, but I was working on a house across the street from yours, and I saw you out in the yard. I heard you talking to a man who was doing yard work for you, and I listened to the way you talked to that man. And the Spirit of God spoke to me listening to you talk to a man doing yard work for you, and God brought me under conviction. That’s how I got saved and started coming to this church.” Now, I had no idea there was a man listening to me talking to that person working in my yard. I don’t remember anything about that. But what is that? That is simply the life of Jesus being manifested in me.

God’s life needs to be manifested in your life, as He inhabits your humanity, and He expresses His deity and His glory.

I must be filled with the Holy Spirit. Not only must the Holy Spirit of God be in me as resident, but He needs to be in me as president. I need to yield my human spirit—my body, my mind, my will—to the Holy Spirit so He can express the life of God through me.

• Who in your life lives in a way that shows Jesus to others?
• What evidence does your life give of the work of God in you?
