Summary: A few years ago, after a festival, a young man – call him Joe -approached me. He said, “Luis, how can I share the Good News? I’m not an evangelist. I’m not a pastor. And I’m not a missionary! I’m just an ordinary guy.” In response, I said, “Well, has God changed your life?” Of course, Joe said “Yes!” So I told him, “If God has changed your life, then you have what it takes to share the Good News! You have personal experience! You have a first-hand understanding of the power of Jesus!” Often, I see people like Joe, who are afraid to share the Gospel because they don’t have some credential that gives them some imagined authority. But the truth is, we don’t need the title of ‘Pastor’ or ‘Missionary’ to tell the Good News. All we need is a heart for Jesus, and the story of Him working in our lives. People cannot argue with how God has changed your life. So this week, be bold about telling your story. Tell the world how you went from being lost, to being found in Christ. Tell of the peace you have in Him. Be honest. Be vulnerable. And be confident that God can use your story to bring others to Him. He said, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you shall be my witnesses" (Acts 1:8). This is Luis Palau.
