Question of the Day: How can I be part of helping all the world know Jesus?
Read about It
Read: Acts 1:8
The promise that Jesus gave to His followers in today’s Bible reading was the promise of one of the greatest gifts: the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit does many things to help us in our relationship with God, including giving us power and boldness to tell everyone about Jesus. Jesus told His disciples to go into Jerusalem, which was their town, and into Judea and Samaria, which were their surrounding areas, and to the ends of the earth. He wanted them to go into all the world and tell everyone about who He is and what He had done. And they could do this through the power of the Holy Spirit.
If you are wondering how you can be part of helping all the world know Jesus, the answer is that the Holy Spirit will help you tell people everywhere about Jesus. God wants to use us right now, wherever we are, to tell others about Him. He also calls people to go to other parts of the world as missionaries. They may have to learn a different language and live in a different culture to tell people about Jesus. Whether we go somewhere or stay where we are, we need the power of the Holy Spirit! He can use us to tell others about Jesus around the world.
