A message from the series "Sunday Service." When sharing the Gospel, it’s very important to speak the right language, but the message must also be contextualized for age and life circumstances. This means that knowing something about people’s worldview is just as important as knowing which language to use in talking to them. Worldviews are “lenses through which we see and interpret the messages and events around us,” and they are often unique to particular cultures. When you share the gospel from your own worldview with a person from a different worldview, will they be able to understand it? Even more important, will it resonate in their heart deeply enough for them to be able to act on it?
Have you ever wondered why Jesus describes His followers as sheep? Why didn´t he choose something more dignified, like eagles, lions, beautiful peacocks or even dolphins? While to some this may seem like a pointless question, if we take the time to understand sheep it becomes very clear why He chose to describe us as sheep and Himself as the Good Shepherd.
