On reading this chapter of Acts, my attention was brought to verse 17 - So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and the God-fearing Greeks, as well as in the market-place day by day with those who happened to be there.
Paul was discussing with the people he met. He wasn't arguing, or shouting or getting agitated. He was just discussing with the people in the Synagogue and market place about Jesus. He spoke in a language that the people understood, he didn't use jargon that they wouldn't understand, he spoke to them about things that they would've already known.
We need to do the same. We need to show people the way to Jesus, but not through arguing with them or using words they don't understand. We need to just be the people that Jesus has called us to be and show others Him in a natural way. Let's be bold in telling others about the Saviour of the world, but lets do it in a way that they see him in us.
