Making It Preach
Distilling the essence of the gospel into truth that makes sense to the hearer is a challenge and gift. It is a challenge because a person coming back for more may depend upon that short explanation resonating with the hearer's heartfelt needs. It is also a gift in that each time we tell it, we continue to define what it means for us. Since the treasury official, unfortunately remembered as the Ethiopian eunuch, is credited by many with bringing the gospel to Eastern Africa, he had plenty of opportunity to tell the story. Perhaps, if those of us who are afraid to speak of our faith could remember how good the news is and that others have searched long and hard to discover its freedom and salvation, our love for Christ and compassion for others might open our lips -- and our spirits.
