“God brought us back to Himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to Him.”
(2 Corinthians 5:18–19)
Ever thought about what this means? Every day followers of Christ — you and me, warts and all — are God’s Plan A to make the introduction between a wayward world, and an infinitely gracious God. To put it another way, we’re to be a Sign held high that points people to Jesus, so that every person can be reconciled to God. What a privilege. And what a challenge!
So, how are you going with this? When’s the last time you intentionally pointed someone to Jesus? How often are you a Sign Post to God’s Kingdom? Do you feel equipped to share your faith with your unchurched friends? Are you up for the challenge?
This is what SIGN is about. It’s time to deal with all those caricatures and failed models of evangelism. And it’s time to see, experience, and share in new ways how the Gospel really is good news, even for a post-Christian culture tired of talk. A Church-wide campaign, spend a whole month becoming a SIGN: pointing people to Jesus.
