Read Acts 1:8.
Before going back to heaven, Jesus called each of his followers to be a witness for him. A witness is someone who can talk about what they have seen or experienced personally.
This calling applies to all of us who follow Jesus today, not just the pastors. We are called to be reliable witnesses, sharing with others the grace of God that we have personally witnessed and experienced in our lives. Spreading the good news of Jesus Christ is a major responsibility of being a Christian. The task that Jesus has entrusted to us is to carry his life-saving message wherever we go. This began with Jesus’ first-century followers, and it continues with his followers today.
Empowered by his Spirit, we have a story to tell and a life-altering encounter to share. Jesus recognized that a transformed life becomes an unstoppable force for good and for God in this world. To the people around you, there is no one better to testify to the life-changing power of God than you. Think of a story you can share with someone about the Lord’s work in your life.
Personal Worship Option:
Dear Jesus, fill us with your Spirit. Empower us to be living testimonies of your grace and love, sharing with others our stories of your grace-filled work in us. Amen.
