  • The Garden of Gethsemane

    Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

    As we continue walking through Easter together, today I want to look ahead to Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. In the Gospels, we see Jesus pray through the night asking God to take the cup of what was to happen from Him. If you or I stood in His shoes—facing the wrath of Almighty God for the sins of the world—we probably would have refused it. But even though Jesus asked His Father, His will was set. He was committed to the cross. But it wasn’t easy for Jesus. He felt such sorrow and agony that He told James and John, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death.” Jesus knew He would not only die but take the judgment, anger, wrath, and separation from God that we deserved. But He did it willingly. And He did it for us. He died so that all who put their trust in Him alone would be blameless before Almighty God.

  • Jesus Fulfilled the Passover

    Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

    When Jesus came to Jerusalem that first Easter week, He didn’t just come to celebrate the Passover…He came to fulfill it! The very first Passover occurred when Moses was trying to free the Israelite slaves from Egypt. Pharaoh had seen God’s might and will through nine plagues that had come upon his nation. But Pharaoh, after making false promises, would go back on his word; and God would warn him again. The tenth plague killed every firstborn son except for the ones that had the blood of a lamb without blemish on their door frame. And that blood was the substitute for their sins. And for hundreds of years before, the blood of a spotless lamb was the only temporary substitution for sins. But Jesus…He came to shed the perfect, final, atoning blood on the cross. And all who put their trust in Him alone, God counts as righteous by His substitution. For more about the Gospel and how to share it, visit ShareLife.Today.

  • The Messiah’s Triumphant Entry

    Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

    What a meaningful week we’ve just started! And walking through Easter with your family, friends, and even strangers can be a wonderful way to share the Gospel with them. Because truly, the Good News of the Gospel happened that very first Easter week and started with Jesus entering Jerusalem on a donkey. At first glance, that may not seem like much…but truly, this was an amazing and powerful act. Jesus’ entry on a donkey claimed His rightful place as their Messiah—the One who came to save His people from their sins. Every Jew there would have known Zechariah’s prophecy of the King and the Messiah coming—triumphant and victorious!—on a donkey colt. And that’s why they shouted “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” King Jesus came to be the sacrifice for sinful humans. And all who place their trust in Him alone, “He gives the right to become children of God.” For more, visit our website at ShareLife.Today.

  • Strengthened to Serve

    Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

    Psalm 73 says it well, “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Through the deep gratitude that we have for our Savior, we use the strength He gives us to serve others. And it’s a delight to His heart when we do. Jesus said in Matthew twenty-five that if we help the less fortunate…”whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” As children of God, our hearts should be aligned with God’s heart. And God tells us God is patiently waiting so as many as would call on His name would have a chance to do so. Today is the day we should serve others and tell them the Greatest News: that Jesus loves them and has died on the cross to take on the penalty for their sins. For all who put their trust in Him and Him alone, He gives them the right to become children of God. For more, visit ShareLife.Today.

  • Strengthened Against Evil

    Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

    I don’t know about you; but sometimes it seems like we could use some armor. Between the temperature of our culture and the crazy things that we see on the news, some protection would be welcome! Ephesians 6 tells us that we should “put on the whole armor of God, that [we] may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but…against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.” God protects us even against things that our eyes cannot see. He has already defeated the enemy through Jesus’ death and resurrection! We celebrate because Jesus is the victor. He’s crushed the head of the enemy. But while we are here on earth sharing the Good News of what He has done with others, we need to put on the armor of God and stand strong. And we’d love to help!

  • Strengthened by Grace

    Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

    Paul gives a blessing to Timothy in 2nd Timothy 2:1 that he would “be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus.” Now, I’d like to pray that same blessing over you today! As you go about your daily tasks, whether good or bad experiences come your way, I pray you’ll be strengthened and held by the grace that is in Christ. You know, grace is one of the utmost attributes of love. It means we receive something that we don’t deserve! And one of the grandest works of God’s grace displayed is that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. When we place our faith in Him, we’re strengthened not in our own might but in His. Ask God today that He would not only strengthen you but also give you the opportunity to share the Good News of His grace with others.

  • Strengthened in Faith

    Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

    How do we live with strength? Do you know that when you become a child of God through placing your faith in Jesus alone, you receive the strength of Almighty God? We see a picture of this in one of my favorite Psalms: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” He is our bulwark—or fortress, in other words—that never fails. And when we place our worries and anxieties in His strong hands, He holds us and gives us peace. Paul tells us in Romans 4 that for Abraham, one of the great fathers of our faith, “no unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith…”  And this is what happens when we rely on God—we grow strong. Do you know anyone who needs this strength and security in their life? Well, be praying and looking for opportunities to share the Gospel with them!

  • Real Might

    Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

    As we continue our series “The Real Real,” let me ask you today…what do you think true strength is? I think oftentimes, strength is attributed to the physically strong. We see people join the special forces training in the military and go through tasks that make even the strongest physically buckle. But you know, that’s not what real strength is. In fact, it’s something that isn’t dependent on how weak or strong we are physically. Real strength is God who can create the universe with the sound of His voice. No human strength can match His glorious might. And He promises to be our strength and fight our battles for us. When we’re His children who have placed our trust in Jesus and Him alone—His work on the cross—we have a Father who is our shelter and our might. Let’s not hold back from sharing with others how they can find their rest and their strength in Jesus as well. For more, visit ShareLife.Today.

  • Walking in Righteousness

    Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

    “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Have you heard this beautiful chapter before? In Psalm 23, we see a picture of what resting in the Lord looks like. He “makes [us] lie down in green pastures; He leads us by quiet waters; He restores [our] souls.” This peace happens as a by-product of walking with God. From the very first moment we are born again through placing our trust in Jesus alone, we’re on an incredible journey of God restoring us through the righteousness of His Son. He grows us in the Fruit of the Spirit, such as peace and joy, as well as gives us Spiritual gifts we can use in service to Him. “He leads [us] on paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” And one of the ways that we can glorify His name is by sharing the Gospel with others. We get the privilege of sharing the Gospel of peace with others. Don’t know how to start? We’d love to help. Visit our website at sharelife.today.

  • The New Testament Cross

    Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

    “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life…” You see, God is holy and perfect. In fact, the book of Habakkuk says that “His eyes are too pure to look upon evil; He can’t tolerate wrong.” And according to Matthew, the standard we all must meet is to “be perfect, as our Heavenly Father is perfect.” You see, we have a big problem. And there is a payment due or a wage for our wrongdoings…and that is death. But praise be to God! He had a plan to redeem us. He sent His Son, Jesus, to live a perfect life and die on the cross in our place. And all who believe in Him, “He gives the right to become children of God.” We can sing, “Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain; He washed it white as snow.” Learn how to share this Good News with others by visiting our website at sharelife.today. That’s sharelife.today.
