Good FridayExemplo

When people encountered Jesus on that very first Easter, they had to tell others about it! 

When Mary encountered Jesus risen in the empty tomb, she had to testify! 

In John 20, it says she saw the empty tomb and went “running to Simon Peter.” After she saw Jesus, she went directly to the disciples to tell them everything.

Is that the response we have when we encounter Jesus? Do we feel this intense need to testify and share it with others? 

This is the same purpose that Jesus gave for His life. He came to seek and save that which was lost and to go to the nearby towns and do the same. 

Do you feel that same purpose? Do you long to tell the lost about the good news of Jesus? 

Over the next couple of days, we are going to review different characters in the Bible to gain wisdom on how we can bear witness to the good news of Jesus and the good news of Easter. 

There are loved ones in our lives who may die without knowing Jesus simply because no one ever told them. We must have the courage and the urgency to tell them. We must run to them the same way Mary ran to Simon Peter. We must because their lives depend on it!
