Sharing Our Faith Story
‘In your hearts revere Christ as Lord.
Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you
to give the reason for the hope that you have.
But do so with gentleness and respect.’
(1 Peter 3:15)
As believers, we know our future – it is to be with Jesus. Who better? This is our hope.
It is not mere optimism or a vague feeling. It is as real as Jesus is real.
Someone may ask you about your hope and Peter tells us to be ready to share our faith
in Jesus with gentleness and respect. It is a wonderful thing when a Christian
person is filled with assurance about their future, even when they are very ill. It is a great testimony,
not to ourselves but to Jesus and a blessing to the person who can see Jesus in us and through us.
Question for thought: Am I ready to share the reason for my hope?
Almighty Heavenly Father, our hearts are stirred by the challenges faced in Butere in Kenya.
We pray for the Lord’s wisdom as our members seek to help those facing unemployment, poverty,
and food insecurity, and give them courage to continue to share the hope they have in Jesus. Amen.
