Too many of us worry more about other people’s opinions than about what Jesus thinks. As a result, we stay silent instead of reaching out. This is uncaring, because if we truly believed that those who don’t know Jesus are heading down a path of separation from God, wouldn’t we want to speak up?
Jesus didn’t hold back when searching for lost sheep. He came, as it says in Luke 19:10 (NIV), “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” He knew exactly why He was on earth. We are called to continue His mission. When we stay quiet out of fear or laziness, we fail the very people we’re supposed to help. Romans 10:14 (NIV) says, “How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?” This verse shows us clearly that people can’t believe in someone they’ve never heard of. If they remain in darkness, it’s partly because we choose to hide the light.
We must remember Jesus’ command in Matthew 28:19 (NIV): “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” This is not a suggestion; it’s our mandate. Let’s pray for courage to set aside our worries about looking bigoted or offending others. Let’s remember that it’s far more loving to share truth than to stay silent just to fit in. Taking action can be as small as starting a real conversation with someone about faith, or as big as organizing outreach events. What matters is that we do something, trusting that God will use our steps of faith.
Dear Lord, please shake us up. Give us the boldness we need to share Your truth. Help us to love others enough to tell them about Jesus. Fill us with passion, energy, and compassion for the people around us. May we not waste another moment lingering in fear, but instead trust in Your power to guide us. We pray this in the name of Jesus, the one who saves us. Amen.
