“We ought to present the truth about Christ—who He is and what He has accomplished—and bear witness to Him with love and compassion.”

Haichun Shen · The Lord's Love for Muslims

Scripture

1 Peter 3:15 But in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,

Reflection

Haichun Shen reminds us that witnessing to Christ is not just about explaining the truth clearly, but also about the attitude of our hearts as we speak. Peter says to always be prepared, yet to answer everyone with gentleness and respect. Often, we are so eager to prove that we are right that we forget the person standing before us is someone who needs to be understood, respected, and loved. A truly powerful witness is not about winning a debate, but about allowing people to see the reality of Christ and feel His love through our words and lives.
