Love others so that they may experience Christ.
"The Word became flesh and blood and moved into the neighborhood." - John 1:14 (MSG)
It's simple.
There are so many people you encounter on a regular basis who might never set foot in a church. But through your intentional acts of love and care, they can experience Christ's love for them, first-hand. As you interact with your neighbors, look for opportunities to "put Christ on the pedestal of your life" by mentioning how he has impacted your life. Look for ways to give God credit as people experience your love and care for them.

Whether you're walking through this study individually or as a group, take a moment to process by asking yourself these questions:
- What type of transformation have you experienced personally from your encounter with Christ?
- How are you an ambassador for Christ on a daily basis in your own life?
- What are three things you can commit to doing today that will lift up Christ and help to draw others to him?
