Friday was supposed to be the highly anticipated grand opening at the pizza place. Surprisingly, it was open on Thursday. There were cars in the parking lot and people coming and going. A pastor I knew was driving by when he saw the commotion and stopped. He went in and ordered a pizza to go.

When the waitress was done taking his order, she walked away and said very little. Since it was a new restaurant, he didn’t think too much of it. Soon, she came back with a pizza box and thanked him for stopping by tonight. He asked about payment and was told that tonight everything is free because they were training for the grand opening.

He could not believe what had just happened. He immediately thought, I should have ordered more and taken advantage of this opportunity. Then a second thought hit him, and he went out to his car and started texting several people he knew about the free meal.

Several of his friends and parishioners also enjoyed a pizza and a chance to try something new. Each one of them then messaged someone so they could enjoy the deal too. The place was packed all night, and hundreds of people welcomed the restaurant by receiving a gift from them.

Whenever you encounter something good that blesses your life, our instinct should be to share it. This is true with pizza, and it should be true with the gospel.

If God has blessed your life through the work of Jesus Christ, don’t keep that information to yourself. Call, text, email, or visit someone this week and tell them about it. If you genuinely believe the gospel is good, then share, don’t keep it a secret.
