Ever witnessed an accident and been interviewed by a police
officer as to what happened? Ever found
yourself on a witness stand at a trial offering your testimony?
To describe something that happened means you are witnessing
to the event(s).
In the Book of Acts the apostle Paul recounts how he was
converted to Christianity while on the road to Damascus. As he retells the
story while in Jerusalem, he mentions how a man named Ananias said this to him,
“…for you will be his witness to all the world of what you have seen and heard.”
(Acts 22:15)
When do you find yourself witnessing to all that you’ve seen
and heard? When and where do you take
the time to tell someone your faith story or how God is active in your life?
I’ve always wondered how easy it is for us to tell others with
great enthusiasm what we experience on vacation, or riding out a storm, or
hearing the good news of some accomplishments a son and/or daughter have made. Why is it so much harder to speak
enthusiastically about of faith and the story of all that God has done for
us?
Let’s step forward and share our love of Christ with others.
