Over the TopSample

Think about the last thing you shared online. Maybe it was a clip that made you laugh. Maybe you shared a song you can't get out of your head. Whatever it is, it moved you enough to share it with a friend because you wanted them to laugh, be amazed, or bop along with the beat, too. You saw something that impacted you and wanted a friend to have a similar experience.

This instinct to share is similar to what motivates the apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 15:14–22. Paul has had his life altered by an encounter with Jesus and has heard thousands of people say a similar thing. Because of what Jesus did for them on the cross and in the resurrection, they can have a friendship with God. Paul knows that through Jesus, anything that could hold us down has been defeated, and the world can now be restored to how God always intended it to be. For Paul and the Early Church, Jesus' story was worth staking their entire lives on and sharing with everyone they knew.

This story is as true today as it was then. It's the story impacting your life and the lives of people worldwide, and it's worth sharing as often as you believe God is inviting you to share it.

What does it look like for you to share the good news?
