Colossians 4:5-6 Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
This is a good reminder for me as we continue on the journey of advent. This is the perfect time of year for the Gospel to be shared. We must keep in mind the ears of our listeners and the hearts of our seekers. Jesus came in an unexpected way, born in a stable, shown to shepherds first. He is for those in need. He came for the lost and the sinners. While I am grateful that I have been given the opportunity to know Christ at such an early age and have spent 30+ years with him, I try to be mindful of my state before knowing Him fully. In this way, I have a better chance of sharing with others in grace and can see others with the eyes of Jesus. It is all important to let Christ lead in the conversations about Him. Let Him guide your tongue and open your heart to those around you, so that He can be born anew for someone this Christmas.
