Saved From What, To What, and For What
Pastor Matthew Johnson walks through Ephesians 2 to show what we've been saved from, what we've been saved to, and why that compels us to share the good news.
The Good News We Cannot Keep Silent
We eagerly share recommendations for restaurants, movies, and vacation spots with friends and family. Yet when it comes to the most transformative truth—the Gospel of Jesus Christ—we often grow silent. Paul reminds us that we are ambassadors for Christ, entrusted with the message of reconciliation. The good news is that Jesus lived the perfect life we couldn't live, died the death we deserved, and rose again to offer us forgiveness and eternal life. This message holds eternal weight, far surpassing any temporary recommendation. Today, reflect on why you might hesitate to share Jesus. Ask God to give you the same enthusiasm for the Gospel that you have for lesser things. Remember: love compels us to share what matters most.
