Witnesses

Acts 1:8 - "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
This is what the world needs so desperately...witnesses unto Christ. We must see and understand that a witness and a testimony are not one and the same. A witness in a judicial trial can give a testimony of what he or she has heard or seen.... But to be a witness is to not only be able to testify with our mouth of God's great work through Christ, but to live a life that witnesses to a watching world through its actions of obedience, faith, holiness, righteousness and peacefulness that Jesus is indeed the Savior of mankind. The great part of this is that it's not left up to us to do it in our strength, but we receive "power" through the Holy Spirit to live this life and to testify to the truth of who Christ is. St. Francis of Assisi stated: "Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words." Is your life a witness today of the living Christ? My prayer is: Lord, make us witnesses unto you.
