Read: John 1:29-51
Meditation: We see in scriptures that Andrew is the one that
makes it possible for many people to see Jesus. He seems to be a humble
man who had a passion to bring the knowledge of Jesus to others. He was
a servant who had a heart for the outcast. Andrew was willing to do
whatever it took to bring others to meet Jesus. There are many people
like Andrew in this world, and they continue to tell others of Jesus as
their Messiah.
Prayer Starter: Lord, show me this day where I can be an
Andrew for someone in my life. Give me the opportunity so that I can
introduce them to You, my Lord and best friend. 
Read: 1 Corinthians 2:1-5
Meditation: We may stumble over the words when we try to be a
witness. That's what Paul is trying to share with us in this reading. It is
not easy, but with God's power we can tell it and tell it boldly. Bold in
the confidence that the Spirit will give you the words to say and then will
work with those words long after you have finished. Just go and tell it.
Prayer Starter: O Lord, help me to be bold in my witness for You.
Bold in stepping forward to give testimony to my love for You. Bold in my
conviction that You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.
Read: Deuteronomy 6 11:18-22
Meditation: We are to tell our children about God, and yet as we
look at our world today, fewer and fewer parents are not preparing their
children for life. Most do not see the need, or expect others to do it.
Their children are then often lacking in these five areas of life that they
need to function: emotional, physical, intellectual, moral and spiritual.
Parents have passed off these responsibilities and we are the ones who must
tell the children about Jesus.
Prayer Starter: Lord, help me daily to pass on the faith to those
who will follow after me, our children.
Read: Mark 16:1-8
Meditation: The message of the empty tomb is about a Lord who is
able to meet the needs of people no matter where they may be in their life
at this moment. Are they in prison, are they sick, addicted, in debt,
lonely, etc? Jesus can meet those needs and our mission is to go and tell
what we have learned in our walk with Jesus. Jesus is alive and wants to see
you and all others who may be suffering.
Prayer Starter: Lord, You satisfy every thirst, hunger, and pain
within my being. Your love and compassion toward me is beyond my
understanding. Help me to share this with others.
Read: 1 John 3:11-24
Meditation: Forgiving oneself is not easy. Often we have three
different reasons why we may not feel forgiven. First, we may feel I must do
something in order to deserve His mercy. Second, we may not know the
difference between guilt and shame. And third, we may have a hesitancy not
to turn around and never do again the sin we may be trapped in. Judgment
belongs to God and in Christ, God has declared you and me not guilty, not
because of what we have done or not done, but because of Christ. Often
before we can tell someone else about God's love through Christ we have to
see God's forgiveness for ourselves.
Prayer Starter: I am justified and reconciled and welcomed into
Your presence, O Lord. It is not because of what I have done, but because
Jesus has taken upon Himself my guilt and shame. Help me to share this grace
and love with all who need to be drawn closer to You and Your love.
Read: Luke 19:28-44
Meditation:
Rocks have played an important part in scripture, and if they
could talk what would they say about God and the people of God. In this
story we see Jesus saying that if the people do not speak out then the
rocks will. What do you think the rocks would say of Jesus that first
Palm Sunday?
How do we feel for those that we see that may be lost? Is it sorrow or
indifference? Jesus wants us to tell and make a difference in the lives
of those in our communities. Go and tell.
Prayer Starter: O Lord, open my lips so I can declare to You
my praise. May I this day be a living stone that crys out about You to
my world.
