December 14, 2025 - For the Church at the St. John Church of Christ
God has given each of us a sphere of influence. In this sphere are the people that you have an opportunity to impact for the Lord. These are the people to whom you are close enough to build relationship with and show them who Jesus is and what Jesus has done for you.
Jesus had spheres of influence as well. Jesus’ spheres looked like concentric circles. His inner circle was made up of 3 or 4 guys (Peter, James, and John – and maybe Andrew). Jesus shared his most intimate moments and teachings with these guys. He poured into them and left them behind as leaders in His Church.
Jesus then had the next sphere of influence – his twelve disciples and others who traveled with his group during his ministry. We are not sure how many people this entailed, but it was more than twelve. Jesus interacted with these people daily and they heard all or at least most of his teachings. Then there came the next sphere – all the people Jesus was able to teach as he traveled around in his ministry. Jesus had impact on all of these people, but that inner circle were the people that no one had a better opportunity to serve than Jesus did.
There are people in this world that you may be the best person to influence them for the Lord. You may be the only Christian that those people are drawn to. You may be the one who shows compassion for them in their despair – and then acts – as godly people do. Don’t miss your opportunity to serve people in your life. Godly people are called to serve others for the sake of God and his glory. Be the kind of people who look on someone in need and feel compassion and then act.
