Acts 5:32
“And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.””
These witnesses are those who personally and first hand saw the works of Jesus, and heard the words of Jesus. They were first hand witnesses to the miracles and message of God through the life and work of Jesus. It is impossible to stop people like that from speaking about what they saw and heard. We who have been saved by grace through faith cannot help to speak about how Jesus personally transformed our lives.
Being an apprentice
Of Jesus is NOT
A spectator on the
Sideline but BEING
A witness in life
We must be honest with ourselves and answer the question, am I a fan in the stands or a follower of Jesus on this playing field we call life. We are to be constantly sharing the good news of Jesus, how He changed our own lives in everyday conversation, in a way that draws people in and close to Jesus. Father God, thank You for chasing me down, revealing Your love and mercy to me, saving me by grace through faith and changing everything in my life. Help me to not be a crazy fan in the stands but a follower of Jesus, that tells people about my Savior and allows the Holy Spirit to take my feeble words and make me a supernatural witness, and applies Your Truth to the heart of the hearer, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
ACTION: Speak my witness
