During the last mission prayer, we reflected on Luke 10: 25-37 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=luke%2010:%2025-37&version=31). In this portion, we find a lawyer asking Jesus about eternal life and who his neighbor is. When Jesus responded to the lawyer, He used the parable of the Good Samaritan to illustrate who one's neighbor is and how we should treat him/her. Jesus could have simply answered the lawyer's question, but He instead creatively communicated His message by using this parable and by asking him questions.

In the same way, we can use creative methods when communicating the Good News in our mission. Instead of just reciting Bible verses, we can share also our personal testimony and experiences when speaking to others about Christ and His love. Just a Jesus did when responding to the lawyer; we can engage people's interest in the message by asking them questions instead of simply providing them the answers.

How are you communicating the Good News?

In His Service,
