The Power of Your Platform
Look, the Lamb of God! – John 1:36
John the Baptist was a teacher and prophet who helped cast a vision that swept across Israel. He preached a message of repentance and prepared the way for Jesus. When he saw Jesus, he pointed others to Him by simply saying, “Look, the Lamb of God!” Two of his disciples heard this and began to follow Jesus.
You may think, “I’m no spiritual teacher.” But if someone listens to you, you are part of God’s faculty. If you’re giving information to another person—whether in business, your neighborhood, or while teaching Bible study—you’re a teacher. God has given you a platform, and He desires that you use it to connect people to Christ. That is a sacred trust.
You never know the ripple effect of your witness. One teacher, Edward Kimball, shared his faith with a young shoe clerk named D.L. Moody. Moody came to Christ, became an evangelist, and influenced countless others, including Billy Graham. One teacher sharing Christ led to a spiritual legacy that impacted millions.
You may not know the result of your witness, but God does. You could be the beginning of someone’s journey to faith. Use the platform God has given you—no matter how small it may seem. Your words, your influence, and your willingness to point to Jesus can change someone’s eternity.
