Paul's sermon in the meeting of the Areopagus
The intellectual presentation of Jesus living, dying and rising again. Unfortunately this sermon didn't stir the crowds like Paul did in other places. We don't see many coming to know the Lord but we hear them wanting to know more (even though some sneered).
When we share our faith we can present to the intellect but results seem to come when we present to the spirit. We also need to realize we're all on a journey and some our in the discovery phase and some have come to accept and others are growing in their faith. Our job is to connect with folks where they're at and have a reason for the hope that is within us.
Lord Jesus, 2000 or so years ago You walked the face of this earth. You came as a baby so people didn't fear You and grew to be a man with ultimate wisdom. Thanks for doing this; sorry You weren't accepted by the religious leaders of Your time. Lord, help us to be wiser. Give us the courage to walk by faith not by sight. Amen
