Today's Daily Bread
The term “viral video” refers to a short clip posted on the
Internet that spreads rapidly as the link is sent from one person to
another. The video may be funny, inspiring, or thought provoking, and it
can quickly spread around the world and be seen by millions of people.
It’s an advertiser’s dream, but few marketing experts are able to
exploit it.
Lacy Kemp wrote: “How do you make something spread like
wildfire? The answer is that you can’t. It’s not something to plan for
or else everyone would be doing it. It has to be awesome enough on its
own to get there.”
The gospel of Jesus Christ is “viral” in the way it spreads from one
person to another. After Stephen, a leader in the early church, was
stoned for his faith, the followers of Jesus in Jerusalem were
persecuted and forced to leave their homes (Acts 8:1-3). Instead of
fearfully holding back, these Christians told people about Him wherever
they went. “Those who were scattered went everywhere preaching the Word”
(v.4).
When we truly know Christ we cannot keep the good news about Him to
ourselves. Even in the most challenging circumstances, we want to keep
on telling others about our Savior and Lord.
Lord, You have been so gracious to save us
and give us eternal life. We love You and want
to tell everyone we can
about Your amazing grace. Lead us, we pray.
and give us eternal life. We love You and want
to tell everyone we can

Spread the gospel; it’s contagious!
