An Influential Life

“Having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles,
that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may,
by your good works which they observe,
glorify God in the day of visitation.”

1 Peter 2:12
 

Does your life radiate Christ? Do you influence others to accept the Lord simply by the way you live?

In the last century, Billy Bray, a dynamic Christian, lived across the Atlantic. This Cornish miner was so effervescent, so overflowing with Christ. Each day as he went down into the mines – very dangerous in those days – he would pray with the miners as he went down. “Lord, if any of us must be killed or die today, let it be me. Let not one of these men die, for they are not happy and I am, and if I die today I shall go to be in heaven.” It was rumored that at times, when he got to the bottom of those mines, the other miners would be on their knees.

Thought for the Day:
Is your life overflowing with Christ?
