Title: Go Tell It/ Topic: Witnessing

Today's Reading: John 2; John 3; John 4

Scripture: John 4:28-30
28 Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people, 29 "Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?" 30 They came out of the town and made their way toward him.

Observation/Application : Witnessing takes no special theological training. Some people have told me they are afraid to witness because people might ask them a question abut the Bible that they don't know the answer to. This woman did the most effective kind of witnessing that anyone can do; she simply told about what Jesus did for her personally. No one can argue with that. She didn't even claim she knew for sure he was the Christ. She just enthusiastically shared her amazement at what he he had done for her and suggested that people come check him out. Anyone can do this. We just need to share our experiences with Jesus. If we share what we have experienced with enthusiasm, then others will be intrigued as well.

Prayer: Father, I thank you that you make things so simple for us. You don't ask us to do anything too difficult or that we need special training for. You set us up for success. Give me more opportunities to share with others all the wonderful things you have done for me. I love you so much and want others to experience the wonder of the freedom, love and forgiveness you bring.
This I pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
