Gospel Reflections #761: Telling a friend who Jesus is to us

Acts 10:38 "That is, Jesus of Nazareth. God has anointed him by the Holy Spirit and by power. Jesus went around and helped people and healed all who were afflicted by demons, because God was with him."

This is a scene from Peter's testimony about Jesus during his evangelism to the Gentiles.

God first showed Peter a vision in which He said, "Do not say that any man is unclean or unclean," and then He led him to Cornelio.

When Peter heard Cornelio's vision, he understood the meaning of the vision he had experienced.

Then Peter told him about the Jesus he had experienced.

Peter was not trying to convince the Gentiles; he was simply telling them about the Jesus he knew and experienced.

When we speak of our own relationship with God, the Holy Spirit is at work, moving the hearts of those who need Him.

All we have to do is tell the story of our own experience of Jesus.

Even if we can't say it well, even if it doesn't seem to reach their hearts, we can simply say what we have experienced and what Jesus is like in our relationships.

The Holy Spirit will fill the rest of the need.
