Multiplication

...Other seed fell on good soil. It came up, grew and produced a crop, multiplying thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times."
Mark 4:8

Multiplication is a fascinating concept to most third grade students. It's a new level of math that, in a way, serves as a rite of passage to "big kid math." It gives them a boost of confidence to know they are advancing to a better, more exciting level of math.

Jesus also has a unique way for us to experience a new and exciting level in our walk with him. No matter where we are on the globe, we can participate in the greatest mathematical concept known to man. And it all has to do with multiplication. We can multiply the kingdom of God by identifying people to share Christ with.

Maybe it's a family member, co-worker, or neighbor. No matter who the person is or what role they play in your life, they deserve a chance to hear the greatest news of all and make the choice to follow Christ. And you don't need a seminary degree or a theological background to share your story with them!

Sometimes something as simple as a positive comment about someone's smile or a reference to current events can spark an opportunity to tell them how Christ has impacted your life.

Think about the people in your life today. And ask God to show you an opportunity to share the good news of Jesus with someone who needs him.
