Subject: THE MOST POWERFUL VERSE IN EVANGELISM |
Bible Note: Kathy, we should do all that. And you are correct: We should do it, not primarily for our sake but for His sake, and for their sakes, those who do not yet know Him. We should exalt him (Exodus 15:2;Isaiah 25:1). We should praise him (Isaiah 25:1; Isaiah 42:12) . We should boast of him (Psalm 34:2; Psalm 44:8). We should glory in his name (1 Chronicles 16:10;Psalm 105:3). We should magnify the Lord (Psalm 34:3; Psalm 69:30; Luke 1:46). It will affect and draw those who are humbly seeking him. The only point is that none of this is suggested in Luke 12:32. That passage is speaking of Jesus being lifted up on the cross. Maybe we should start another thread on the role of praise in evangelism and base it on Psalm 69:30-32. |
