Are There Practical Ways To Share Jesus Online?

With the world population at 7.8 billion people, and those that identify as Christian at 2.4 billion, there are still many people to reach. Thankfully, the opportunities to share Jesus are endless, especially online!

The Bible refers many times to the need, not only to share the good news about Jesus, but also that people are ready to receive Jesus.

“Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” — 2 Corinthians 6:2

“The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few.” — Luke 10:2

Here are 4 practical ways to share Jesus online:

1. Post Intentional Questions

When Jesus was asked questions, he often responded with a question of his own to arouse curiosity. Whether it was in Matthew 22 with the Pharisees, or the rich young ruler in Mark 10, or countless others, Jesus teaches us the power of curiosity. People love to talk and give their opinion. Get them talking about things that matter.

The most effective questions are powerful and thought-provoking. They are clear, concise, open-ended and invite discussion. When asking questions, wait for the answer instead of providing the answer. God wants to reveal Himself to the world, so ask questions that allow Him to do so.

Here are 6 questions you could ask online:

• Why do you think bad things happen?
• What would it take for you to believe in God?
• What has been your experience of prayer?
• What are your thoughts on Jesus?
• Have you ever wondered what your purpose was?
• Do you have questions about God or faith?

2. Offer Prayer

People are open to spiritual things, we just don’t think they are. People are open to conversations about God, they are just waiting for us to start them.

Prayer is a great way to raise spiritual curiosity in people and be a gateway to spiritual conversations. Every opportunity is an opportunity to offer prayer.

3. Share Your Story

Whether you’re a new Christian or a seasoned Bible scholar, your personal story of becoming a Christian is one of the most powerful ways to share your faith. People love a good story and today is the perfect day to share yours online.

Your story matters and your experience matters. They matter because people relate to personal stories and experiences. Share your story and help people understand that Christians are just ‘broken people made whole through Jesus.’

4. Share a Video

Jesus shared the hope in his heart through stories. He was a master storyteller. In fact, the Bible shows that storytelling was His favourite technique to communicate and reveal truth. Sharing videos is a great way to share the hope in our heart.

The message of the gospel must never change. However, the method or medium by which we spread the gospel absolutely should. Sharing videos is a great way to share Jesus. Videos help explain what we cannot explain. Check out the full library of videos at yesheis.com.

When it comes to sharing Jesus, your greatest ability is your availability. Who are you making yourself available for online today?
