I just got back from speaking at a retreat this weekend. I came home walked to the couch and crashed. I was so tired! It was such a good weekend!
The first session we talked about who Christ was and what he accomplished on the cross. Then I was able to transition into the Gospel. It never gets old. I decided this year that I want to be better at sharing and explaining the Gospel. I have had a couple times already this year to do this and it never gets old when you are talking about what the Gospel really is. The fact that Jesus, the Son of God, came and lived a perfect life and then was sacrificed on the cross to pay the debt that we as sinners needed to pay. He hung on the cross and all of our guilt and shame was placed on Him, and now we have a payment for our sin. However, the most awesome thing is that death and the grave couldn’t hold him! Jesus came back to life on the third day and now we have a living king. However, the Bible is very clear that it is just NOT a belief in God it is surrendering your life to Him. Man, explaining it, talking about it, praying about it, Thanking him for it, and telling people about it, IT NEVER GETS OLD
And when people respond to it for the first time…. PRAISE THE LORD, that never gets old!
Awesome weekend, where people came to know Him for the first time!
I know I have said this… but it never gets old!
