Is any day of the year better for sharing our faith than Halloween? The world is celebrating scary things today by making the day sweeter with candy. Meanwhile, television, movies, decorations, and costumes have become evil and increasingly grotesque.
People dabble in the occult for fun. Most walk away with little damage to their soul. Some, however, continue to engage in the process that costs them their soul. We live in a culture that doesn’t often consider the reality of Satan and his love for all things dark and evil. Halloween is a good chance to live as a separate witness from the world and speak of things that are holy.
Jesus said, “If anyone serves me, he must follow me.” We will be given the chance to share our faith wisely and joyfully with others if we follow Jesus around today. What we do or don’t do can speak a loud testimony to those we know. When they ask us why we believe like we do, Jesus can answer their question through our opportunity.
Today, and all days, we can wisely and joyfully share our faith if we will “keep in step” with the Spirit of God (Galatians 5:25). If we want to serve Christ today, we must follow his leadership and serve him as our King.
Jesus said, “If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.” We will have a good night’s sleep tonight, and every night, if we know we spent our day with the One who created it. Satan didn’t create October 31; he just refocused the day on his priorities. He can do that on any given day if we choose not to follow and serve Jesus.
Wisdom is joyfully sharing Christ with others. Halloween is a great day to walk in the wise footsteps of Jesus. If we serve Jesus, the Father will honor his servant.
