Make it Ok for visitors to reject Jesus at Easter


Listen Later

It's important to make it okay for visitors to reject Jesus at your Easter service. Many people who come to church on Easter might not even know that Easter is about Jesus. They might just be there for family time or fun activities and not looking for a spiritual experience. I want to talk about how we can create a welcoming space for those who are unfamiliar with the faith and how we can gently guide them toward understanding Jesus in the future. By acknowledging their questions and providing resources, we can help them explore their doubts and ultimately meet Jesus. Let's dive into how we can foster this kind of environment in our churches.

Takeaways:

  1. Easter visitors might not know that Easter is about Jesus at all, so be prepared.
  2. Many come to church for reasons unrelated to spiritual seeking, like family or music.
  3. Rejection is a part of accepting new ideas, especially about faith and Jesus.
  4. Provide resources after service for visitors to learn more about Jesus and faith.
  5. Encourage open dialogue and exploration of questions surrounding the Easter message.
  6. Affirm visitors' right to question and explore their faith journey with your church.
