Why Don't People Ask Us About Our Hope?
I was reading again tonight in my devotions, from one of my favorite books "Don't Waste Your Life" by John Piper... :) As I was reading through chapter 7, I came across these two paragraphs..ones that were very convicting reminders to me, and I want to share them with you...
'"There is no doubt that if we lived more like this, the world would be more likely to consider whether Jesus is an all-satisfying Treasure. He would look like one. When was the last time someone asked you about " the reason for the hope that is in you"? That's what Peter said we should always be ready to give an answer: " Always be prepared to make a defence to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you" (I Peter 3:15).
Why don't people ask us about our hope? The answer is probably that we look as if we hope in the same things they do. our lives don't look like they are on the Calvary road, stripped down for sacrificial love, serving others with the sweet assurance that we don't need to be rewarded in this life. Our reward is great in heaven ( Matthew 5:12)! " You will be repaid at the resurrection of the just" (Luke 14:14). If we believed this more deeply, others might see the worth of God and find in him their gladness." '
...something to think about...
