BEING A WITNESS

READ:

You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me
-Acts 1:8

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Isaiah 34-36
Colossians 2

When I was a teen, I witnessed an auto accident. It was a shocking experience that was compounded by what followed. As the only witness to the incident, I spent the ensuing months telling series of lawyers and insurance adjustors what I had seen. I was not expected to explain the physics of the wreck or the details of the medical trauma. I was only asked to tell only what I had witnessed.
As followers of Christ, we are to be witnesses of what Jesus has done in us and for us. To point people to Christ, we don't need to be able to explain every theological issue or answer every question. What we must do is explain what we have witnessed in our own lives through the cross and the resurrection of the Saviour. Even better is that we don't have to rely on ourselves alone to do this. Jesus said, "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth" (Acts 1:8).
As we rely on the Spirit's power, we can point a hurting world to the redeeming Christ. With His help, we can witness to the life-changing power of His presence in our lives! - Bill Crowder
I love to tell the story of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story, because I know â€˜tis true;
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do. - Hankey

Our testimony is the witness of what God has done for us.
