13 It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, 14 because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself. 15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God. -2 Corinthians 4:13-15
How much do you talk about Jesus or your faith? When we’re excited about something, we talk a lot (or post a lot) about it. I’ve seen students talk and post a lot about anime or video games like League, Minecraft, or Genshin Impact. But how much do we talk about Jesus? Are we more excited about anime than we are of Jesus? Are we more excited about video games than we are of Jesus?
In this passage, the Apostle Paul talks about how he can’t stop but talk about Jesus. We can’t help but talk about the things we love and if we love Jesus, we’ll talk about him.
I’m going to expose Will a little bit here. Being newly married to Lovely, all Will talks about is Lovely. He gave a Harvesters lesson this past week and Lovely was in it. In our cabin time, the examples he used were of his relationship with Lovely. It’s Lovely this and Lovely that. But it makes sense. Will obviously loves Lovely and so he can’t stop talking about her.
Are we like that we God? Are we so passionate and so in love with Jesus that we can’t help but talk about him?
