Like Christ, we should all be so bold in mentioning the astounding benefits of participating in the Christian faith. Tell people with confidence what the Father promises! To the thirsty woman Jesus encountered at the well, He offered "living" water -- soul-quenching and spirit-filled water of life. For the people you encounter, the offers are limitless:
To those filled with shame, "Grace and forgiveness can come your way."
To those bound up in destructive habits, "When the Son sets you free, you'll be free indeed."
To the weak, "Strength from God -- the Strength-Giver -- can be yours for the asking."
To the weary, "Jesus promises rest for your soul."
To the poor, richness of spirit.
To the lacking, provision in due time.
To the grieving, consolation and comfort.
To the sick and dying, eternal life and new bodies in the life hereafter.
