Thanks for being brave enough to read today’s blog. The title didn’t make a bit of sense to you did it? It was like it was in some foreign language. I am sure there will be those who never clicked on the link because they didn’t have a clue what was going on. The same thing and happen when we share our faith with people. They will not have a clue what we are talking about unless we can learn to speak to them in a language that they understand. Again that is why Jesus taught a lot of times in parables these were stories that people could understand. One thing that came to mind today as I was thinking about this is a lot of times when we would like to tell someone about Jesus we tend to think about all of the things that we think will benefit the person we are talking to. What we think they should know or what we think Jesus could do for them. However we should not discount the fact that perhaps what they may need to hear is what Jesus has done for us. That may be what plants the seed for them. It is much less threatening to the person you are talking to. Still the best way to know what words a person needs to hear and will understand is to get to know that person.
1 Corinthians 14
9 It’s the same for you. If you speak to people in words they don’t understand, how will they know what you are saying? You might as well be talking into empty space.
