10 Days of Easter: Day 10

*All of the material was provided and put together by those at YM360. We just put together the pretty pictures.*

Truth from the Bible: The new life we have in Christ motivates us to be vocal and visible messengers to the world around us.
What do I do with it?: You'll thank God that He has called you to be a messenger of His story, and you'll ask God to help you be more effective in doing so.

Go outside and look at the sky. Notice its massive expanses. See how you can't help but notice it when you are outside. Pause and take it all in.

Jesus is calling you to be vocal and visible messengers to the world around you. He wants you to live life in such a way that people can't help but see Him when they are around you. Like the sky to the outdoors, He wants your life to be an obvious reflection of His love.

Take a few moments and read 2 Corinthians 5:17-21.

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
-2 Corinthians 5 (NIV)

The passage refers to a person who is a "new person," who is "Christ's ambassador," and has been "made right through Christ."

Today is the day of declaration - and make it loud! Create a video of yourself declaring your loyalty to Christ. Put into your own words what it means to be called the three things listed above. Then take it a step farther.

Upload your declaration to YouTube or your favorite social media platform. (Share it with TurningPoint, and use #10DaysOfEaster.) After you get your new masterpiece uploaded, ask God to bless your efforts to be a messenger for His great story in such a personal and public way.
