“Sharing” has a different connotation than it did twenty years ago. In those days, “sharing” something generally required physical proximity to another. You could share a sandwich, share some news, or share a seat, but now sharing is done in different ways.

If we are enjoying a meal, we share it. If we take a good picture, we share it. If we think of something witty (or sarcastic), we share it. We accomplish this not on a one-to-one, physical proximity basis, but through Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram. In fact, you could argue that given the proliferation of “sharing,” we are better “sharers” now than at any point in history.

We are commanded and equipped to tell others about the life, ministry, and mission of Jesus.”

Interesting, in light of our abundant sharing, we don’t take the chance to share more about Jesus. But that is exactly what is required of us as His followers. We are commanded and equipped to tell others about the life, ministry, and mission of Jesus. We do this because this news is simply too big and too good to keep to ourselves.
