Bible reading for Day 13 | 1 Corinthians 9:16
16 For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!
Many computer games have quests. Do you know that as Christians, we too are on a quest? A Christian’s real-life quest is to tell people about Jesus. Even the apostle Paul says he feels terrible when he does not share the Gospel.
After Jesus was resurrected and before He rose to heaven, His final instructions to His followers were to go and make disciples in every nation, to baptise them, to teach them to obey Him. But how can they obey Him if they do not know Him?
When we tell people about Jesus, then they will know about Him. They can trust Him. They can follow Him.
But there are so many nations, so many people! We can start with Singapore. We can start with our school. We can start with our neighbourhood. We can start with our friend or brother or cousin. Nothing is too small for God. He will bless our efforts to share the Gospel because we have obeyed His instructions.
Let us go and tell people in Singapore about Jesus, one person at a time. Don’t give up!
Discuss
1. How can you share the Gospel? What words will you use?
2. After telling people about Jesus, how can you show people by your actions who Jesus is?
Pray
1. Pray that God will open your eyes to see the many people who do not know Jesus.
2. Pray that He will give you love in your heart and words in your mouth to tell them about Jesus. Ask God to open the hearts, ears and eyes of these people to receive His love, hear His voice and see His power!
