LIVE FOR YOUR PURPOSE, SHARE JESUS

This world is filled with brokenness, and many people are searching for hope, peace, and purpose. Yet the hope they long for is found only in Jesus Christ, whose compassion and sacrifice on the cross made salvation possible. Since Jesus will return one day, His compassion compels us to share this life-changing gospel while there is still time. But how do we begin?

LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES

In John 4:4–6, Jesus deliberately chose to pass through Samaria, even though most Jews avoided it, because He had a divine appointment with the Samaritan woman. Though tired from His journey, He saw an opportunity to reach someone in need. Like Jesus, we should look for opportunities to share the gospel, whether through face-to-face conversations, social media, or simple acts of kindness. Wherever God has placed us, He has already prepared opportunities for us to point others to Christ.     

INITIATE MEANINGFUL CONVERSATIONS

Jesus did not begin by condemning the woman or arguing with her. Instead, He started with a simple request for water (John 4:7) and used an ordinary conversation to lead her to eternal truth. He addressed her deepest spiritual need with both truth and grace, creating a safe opportunity for her to respond in faith. Our role is not to change people's hearts but to faithfully share the gospel, trusting that it is "the power of God for salvation" (Romans 1:16).

KEEP REACHING OUT

The Samaritan woman's understanding of Jesus grew over time. She first saw Him as a Jew, then called Him "Sir," recognized Him as a prophet, and finally believed He was the Messiah (John 4:19–26). In the same way, people often come to faith gradually. Don't lose heart if someone does not respond immediately. Keep planting seeds, trusting that God alone can soften hearts and bring the harvest (Galatians 6:9).  

EMPOWER OTHERS TO DO THE SAME

Many Samaritans first believed because of the woman's testimony but even more believed after hearing Jesus for themselves (John 4:39–41). Our testimony may open the door, but God's Word is what transforms lives. As followers of Christ, we are called not only to share Jesus but also to equip others to do the same by sharing their testimony, living like Christ, and explaining the good news. As we live out our God-given purpose, may we faithfully proclaim His gospel here and around the world until our King returns.
