Speaking Jesus

I don't know more than two words of Spanish, and even then I can never remember how to say a simple "hello" (... Hola, right?). For those of you who don't know, El Salvador is Spanish-speaking. And the girl who is in her fourth year of French is going to a Spanish-speaking country. No hablo espanol...

In our meetings someone always mentions how amazed they are that the last time the group went two years ago how little the giant language barrier didn't get in the way when they were witnessing. It always reminds me of Acts 2:1-12, when the Holy Spirit came down and filled the Apostles and they were able to speak in all languages.

Acts 6-8 says, "And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together, and were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own language. They were amazed and astonished, saying, ;Why, are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we each hear them in our own language to which we were born?"

This also reminded me of Jamie Grace's song "Show Jesus." One of the lines is "You know love is what they heard and you didn't even say a word. Ain't it funny that's the way it works when you show Jesus?"

Just something to think about.
