Gospel Reflections #812: A Message of Healing

John 8:2 "Early in the morning, Jesus returned to the temple courts. The whole crowd gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them."

Jesus always responded to the needs of those around him.

He never forced or coerced his message upon anyone. When people were ready, he discerned their needs and spoke the most fitting message for them.

We tend to impose messages on others from our own perspective, but Jesus always honored others and prioritized them in His work.

Before we try to express God with words in our evangelism, we need to draw near to others, walk alongside them, and seek out their needs.

Rather than delivering didactic messages, we should share messages that bring healing, encouragement, and hope to others. Sharing our personal testimonies of experiencing God may also help us connect with them.

Either way, this is beyond our own wisdom or strength. By seeking God's intervention, He works in our hearts and guides us.

Jesus' message resonates in the hearts of those truly seeking God, as the Holy Spirit makes it so.

Both the speaker and the listener are surely nurtured by God, who is the Word.
