Just Ask

Acts 4:20 For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.

This is Peter and John speaking to the church leaders about their time with Jesus and sharing Him with the world. They could not be stopped. They were talking about their friend, their Lord. They had lived life with Jesus. They were with him when he preached, when he performed miracles, when he was crucified, and when he was risen. They were now living out the life Christ had called them to, bringing people to Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit in them. Peter and John were speaking from personal experience. We too can have personal experiences with Jesus. We can spend time with the risen Christ and get to know him as our friend and Lord. And when we have those experiences, we will be compelled to speak about it with whomever will listen. Seek Jesus and you will find Him. Tell Him you want to know Him and be ready to experience Him. Accept who He is and what He has done and your life will never be the same. The key is to spend time with Him like you spend time with anyone you want to get to know. Invite Him into your quiet time and then be still before Him. Just ask.
