Let’s face it, in the spirit of 1 Corinthians 9:19-22, all Christ followers are called upon to “be all things to all people.” In other words we must be relatable, people who can connect with others. We should not live in the world isolated from those Jesus loves and are sending us to reach. When my children play sports, they join teams with other young people who come from various backgrounds. One thing they have in common is interest in the sport, solidified in symbolic form when they wear their game uniforms. That becomes a distinct moment of connection. You feel it. That is a picture of what it means for us to relate with those who do not yet have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It could be a uniform. The moment of relatability is when there is a recognized common point of interest or goal. You can build an evangelistic bridge on that foundation.
