Telling Others About Jesus

[redblue22]

What are some good ways to tell others about Jesus?

What do you say or do? Or maybe, what do you like to do?

(if you don't tell others, what are some good ways others have told you?)

 

[James of Arc]

The best way to witness to others about Jesus is to live the life and not just read it and then do as you want.

The biggest witness to me was how the community elders acted and I noticed that the ones I wanted to be like went to church.

I had 2 guys down a street randomly zero in on me and start progressing towards me

I clenched my fists ready to do a pre-emptive strike on the first guy

Turned out they were actually Mormon missionaries

So I still took the first guy out anyway (joking)

They just approached and started talking about Jesus etc. out of nowhere, no hesitation

Tell the stories about Him like what he did in the Bible.

Then people get curious and want to read the bible for themselves.

For children its acting out the stories in the bible...but it has to be starting from the beginning with the nativity otherwise it doesnt make sense for them they need to hear about when Jesus was a baby and child himself to relate to Him.

I had this lesson in which I was suppose to teach about faith and the children hadnt heard about Jesus right from the beginning, it was kinda inserted without any context about the centurions faith and of course they didnt really get the story.

When reading a story you DONT skip chapters or it makes no sense! People who are teachers dont seem to get this apart from people who are readers (or librarians) that you need the story from beginning to end to make sense not just random verses or bits of chapters.

I'm still learning this one.

So far, it just comes out when the time seems right. For example, if someone's telling me how they suffer, I sympathize with them, but I also tell them that I too suffer but I get through my days because of Jesus. It needs to be genuine though, you shouldn't just say it without actually caring about that person imo.

One day I hope to be brave enough to set up something on the side of the road or something to tell others about Christ. Like, set up a booth or something and invite others, anyone, to come and have conversations. I wouldn't do it alone though, I'd need a group.

The unsaved in my sphere of influence all seem to have at least heard of Jesus. I'm more focused on dealing with their objections in a way that doesn't exacerbate them.

What are some good ways to tell others about Jesus?

What do you say or do? Or maybe, what do you like to do?

Do you mean in sense of trying to make them believe the way I do?

If so, I would really, really like to do it the Jesus-style, by pulling 5 000 breads out of nowhere and make wine of water. But it turns out, my Jesus-skills are malfunctioning too much, so I can't do that. How boring is that, really...

If you mean talking about Jesus in some other sense, then I usually talk about religion in a same manner I would talk about any other thing. Just put it in my own words, as it is for me. I really don't like the sales pitch type of talking about God.

(if you don't tell others, what are some good ways others have told you?)

I am a cheerleader for religious authenticity, I like reading or hearing peopels stories about their walk with God in brutally honest way, all the shades of gray and the unglorious complexity included. For some reason, hearing a story where people set out to seek something, but find something totally else, have fascinated me the most for long time.

I am allergic for pure light or pure darkness, but I like to hear stories that tell both sides, the triumphs and the un-glorious mess-ups and complex problems alike.

That being said, I usually prefer to have a two-way conversations about religion, rather than just being a listener or a talker.

What do you think about using tracts or giving out religious literature?
