Contagious | Crosstraining 3.6.13

Ephesians 4:31-32 One of the most annoying types of people to deal with in life are those who,  if they aren’t happy, nobody is going to be happy. You know, that person that will try to make the funnest times miserable just because they didn’t get their way. The person who, if they aren’t comfortable, will do anything they can to make sure no one else is either. While we are all annoyed by this person in our normal, day to day lives, when bitterness takes root inside of us, we all become this person in one way or another. When you are bitter, you spread your bitterness around to everyone else around you. Everyone is in your crosshairs, even if they have nothing to do with what you’re upset about. In life, you are either going to spread bitterness or forgiveness to those around you. The Bible constantly tells us to forgive one another just as Christ has forgiven us. When we spread forgiveness around to those close to us, we are sharing the gospel with them. We are showing them a picture of how Jesus gives us undeserved love and mercy. When we spread bitterness, we are accidentally hiding the gospel from them because the gospel is all about forgiveness. Are you bitter or forgiving? Are you sharing or hiding the gospel in your life?
