Douglas recently went to a the coolest birthday party ever. He got to sleep over at an aquarium! He made sure to pack everything he needed: sleeping bag, flashlight, pillow, snacks, etc. It was a great party. But when it came time for his friend to open presents, Douglas realized he left his birthday present at home! We have so much going on in life that it’s hard to keep track of everything, and we often forget about the MOST IMPORTANT THING, and that is the good news of Jesus Christ. God gave us an amazing gift, and that gift is for sharing!
It’s really easy to forget about Jesus, and it’s especially easy to forget about telling others about Jesus. But we have the BEST NEWS EVER, and that is that Jesus Christ came to the world to save us from our sins. That’s something that everyone needs to hear. The whole world needs to know about God’s love for us. So today as you’re planning your busy day, don’t forget to tell others about Jesus, and show his love to everyone you meet!
