How difficult is it to share the gospel of Jesus?
Sometimes it can feel almost impossible.
We might think:
Don’t I need a theology degree? A diploma? A certificate? Surely someone needs to officially commission me first?
We can easily disqualify ourselves before we even begin.
But here’s the good news: someone has already given us permission.
Jesus.
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Matthew 28:19–20 (NIV)
Actually, we have more than permission. We have been commanded to do this by Jesus himself. The question is, will we obey?
Prayer
Father God,
Thank You for trusting me with the message of Jesus. Thank You that I don’t need a degree, a title, or a platform. I only need a willing heart.
Forgive me for the times I’ve allowed fear, insecurity, or self-doubt to silence me. Fill me afresh with Your Holy Spirit. Give me courage to speak when You prompt me and wisdom to know when to listen.
Help me share the gospel with gentleness, humility, and love. Not pressure, nor performance, but compassion.
Remind me that You are always with me.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.

One Simple Step
Sharing the gospel doesn’t have to begin with a sermon. It begins with relationship.
This week, ask the Holy Spirit:
“Who in my life needs hope right now?”
Then take one small step:
- Send an encouraging message.
- Share a meal with someone.
- Invite people in – get to know them.
- Offer to pray for someone.
- Share a short testimony of what Jesus has done in your life.
- Invite someone to church or to listen to this podcast.
Remember, obedience begins with availability.
You are not responsible for results.
You are responsible for responding.
And Jesus promised, He is with you always.
