Devotional Transcript:
CS Lewis said in Mere Christianity, “God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart from Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing.”
My friend, we cannot offer anyone love, joy, peace, hope, or acceptance apart from God. But you carry in you the Holy Spirit. We offer Jesus Christ, and him crucified, risen, and ascended for sinners. Your unbelieving family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, whoever God brings you into contact with, they all need this kind of love.
Let’s offer them the good news without qualification, without fear, without watering it down. Let’s give them what we’ve been given by God’s abundant grace.
