Introducing the living God

 

The statement made by Paul reminds us all that it is God's presence that enables us to live, move and exist. Paul conveyed the good news to the Athenians about The Living God, so that they would repent and believe in God. And so that they don't worship and praise gods in the form of gold or silver or stones which were the creation of human art and skill (verse 29). 

 

Paul is a disciple of Christ who always kept his faith and preached the good news to all nations. In today's reading, we see that the good news delivered by Paul was actually ridiculed by the Athenians (verse 32). But among that multitude, there were some who believed in Jesus Christ. The truth about Jesus Christ as the Messiah is able to make people repent. 

 

Let us introduce our Lord Jesus Christ starting from those who are closest to us. Maybe we are not able to introduce Jesus Christ to people we don't know or in large numbers, but we can introduce God's presence and testify that it is only because of Him that we can live, move, and exist in this world. 

Through ourselves, we can be witnesses of Christ and can preach the good news to everyone so that people can believe in the Living God, the True God. Amen.
