The Messengers of Good News: How Ordinary Believers Can Share Christ Powerfully
Are You Missing Your Mission Field? Do you witness regularly or any at all?
Pause for a moment. Think about your daily life, home, workplace, and grocery store line, and ask yourself whether you are actively sharing the love of Christ in those spaces. Are you like most of us who feel uncomfortable in witnessing and sharing the gospel? Too often, we believe that spreading the gospel is someone else’s job, a pastor’s, a missionary’s, or a teacher’s. I used to think that, too. But Jesus showed me otherwise.
One day, standing in a checkout line, I noticed the cashier’s forced smile. She looked worn out. Instead of scrolling my phone, I asked how her day was. Her eyes welled with tears. She had just lost her mother. I prayed with her right then. Nothing grand. No stage. Just two souls connecting in Christ’s name. That’s what it means to be a messenger of good news.
Now, let’s dig into what it means to truly live this out.
You Are Called, Yes, You
First, let’s crush a myth: you don’t need a pulpit to preach.
Paul asked in Romans 10:14, “How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?” This wasn’t a message just for pastors. It was for all believers. That includes you and me.
You are qualified. Not because you’re perfect, but because Jeshua is.
Even when you’re busy folding laundry, working a job, or helping a neighbor move, you’re in ministry. These ordinary moments can become extraordinary opportunities to reflect God’s love.
Key takeaway: Sharing the gospel starts with your willingness, not your title.
Everyday Ways to Share the Gospel
So how do you become a messenger of good news without sounding preachy or awkward?
Here are three simple ways:
- Listen with Purpose
Don’t underestimate the power of a listening ear. When people feel heard, they open up. That’s when the Holy Spirit gives you words of peace and truth.
- Help Without Expectation
Bake cookies for a new neighbor. Offer to babysit for a tired mom. These small acts plant seeds of kindness that echo Christ’s love.
- Speak Truth Gently
When someone shares their worries, offer Scripture gently. Say something like, “When I’ve felt anxious, this verse has helped me.” Let your own testimony point to the Source.
Remember: You’re not selling religion. You’re revealing relationship.
What’s Holding You Back?
Maybe you feel unqualified, awkward, or afraid of rejection. I’ve been there. Many of us have. But here’s the truth: The Holy Spirit equips you. God chooses you. Jesus sends you.
Even if your voice shakes or your words feel small, He makes them powerful. Let this promise settle in your heart: “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Corinthians 12:9)
The Seeds You Sow Matter
You might not see immediate results. Still, every act of love, every word of truth, every prayer plants seeds.
One woman from our church shared how a simple card she gave her co-worker led to a faith conversation months later. That co-worker now teaches Sunday school.
You never know what God will do with your obedience.
