That everyone would come to believe through him

That he would gather followers for himself

The goal was that everyone would believe through him

Speak and live so that people notice Christ more than you

Keep faith private so no one is challenged

Make your main goal to be respected for your sincerity

Wait until someone asks before ever mentioning the light

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and walked in darkness. I cannot save myself. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and receive you as my Lord and Savior. Bring your light into my life and lead me to follow you. Amen.

Come Into the Light

Lord, revive your Church to be a faithful witness to your light. Save us from fear, self-importance, and silence. Give us humble courage to speak and live so that many may believe through our testimony, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Make Us Clear Witnesses

Father, let your light reach the people I love who do not yet believe. Send truthful witnesses into their lives, open their hearts, and use their encounters to draw them toward faith, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Let Your Light Reach Them

Name one person before God, ask him to help you speak honestly about Christ, and ask for a life that points to Jesus more than to yourself.

Pray for One Person by Name

Bring these to God: the people whose words, actions, or patience helped you trust Christ; the gift of faith that came through them; and the grace that kept pointing you to the light.

Thank You for the Witnesses Who Helped Me Believe

Bring these to God: a desire to point away from myself, courage to speak when it matters, consistency between words and actions, and a heart that helps others notice Christ.

Make My Life a Witness
