As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.” Acts 4:20. This is a statement by the Apostle Peter declared before the Jewish religious leaders following the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The once denying and fearing Peter boldly announces the incapacity for the followers of Christ to hold in their declaration of faith!
Humanity often overcomplicates the simplest of tasks and we Christians may do the same when it comes to bringing others to know the Lord. We have so many workshops, books, and “experts” that promise new methods of bringing people into the fold, but what if we did something that goes back to the ancient church!
What if we lived boldly? What if everyone who encountered us on the street was overwhelmed by the strange difference that encompasses our lives. What if when someone met you for the first time they couldn’t help but be aware of the measure of hope, peace, and joy that exudes from your personality. This is more than just “being” a Christian, this is “boldly living” as a Christian. For we are not ashamed of the message we bring and the hope we have and the grace we offer.
