I hosted a luncheon last Saturday for the ladies in my Bible study. We had two new retirees we wanted to honor. I don’t entertain a lot, and it’s never fancy. This event featured vegetarian chili. And guess what? They liked it. So much so that a few even asked for the recipe.
It’s one thing for people to compliment your cooking. It’s a totally different level when they want to have the recipe, isn’t it?
That means that not only did they enjoy the experience, they wanted to duplicate it. They wanted to share it with others.
Isn’t that exactly what we as Christians should be aspiring to? We want our lives to exemplify Christ so much that people don’t just compliment us for the way we live, or handle adversity, or help others, but they ask for the recipe. They want what we have.
And do you have the recipe?
Peter tells us in 1 Peter 3:15 "But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.”
What better season to share the hope that we have in Jesus. And it is as simple as that. As the old hymn states: “My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.”
