Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. — John 6:29

Do you think Jesus is real? Do you really think that? Shortly after Max Lucado got back from his mission work in Rio, Brazil, he told a group of his closest friends that his theology was pretty simple. He didn’t understand a lot of the big, hard theological issues that cause people to disagree. But Max said he came to the firm and deep belief that God loves us and showed that love by really sending Jesus to live among us, die for us, and be raised from the dead so that we could be raised from death, too. This is God’s work. It is both incredibly simple and incredibly powerful.

Prayer

Holy God, I do believe that Jesus was born, lived, died, and rose again. Please help me show and share that message with those around me looking to find hope and help. Give me the courage and discernment, Holy Spirit, to share Jesus with those around me who are searching. Open my eyes to them. Father, please support me as I recommit myself to your work today. I want so much to be a part of it. In Jesus’s precious name I pray. Amen.
