1Corinthians 2

Scripture
1Corinthians 2
Verse 2 And my message and my preaching were very plain. I did not use wise and persuasive speeches, but the Holy Spirit was powerful among you.


Observation
The gospel message is very simple. We do not need many words or even all that much wisdom to share the message of Jesus. When we speak to people about Jesus the Holy Spirit will guide our words so that we will say exactly what the other person needs to hear at that moment.


Application
Pray for the Holy Spirit to give you the opportunities to share the message of Jesus. Other Christians do not need to hear the Gospel, they already have hears it. We need to get out of our comfort zone and spend some time in the world away from other Christians. The Holy Spirit will guide us to those that need to hear what we have to say, and that is that to believe that Jesus died so we can have eternal life.


Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank you for the simplicity of your glorious plan. We are all terrible sinners but we are declared not guilty simply because Jesus took our sins away on the cross. Please guide those that need to hear this message so that they may also have eternal life with you. I pray for power of the Holy Spirit to work through me so that I can have the opportunities to share this wonderful message more often.
