“A good witness isn’t like a salesman, his emphasis is on a person rather than a product. A good witness is like a signpost. It doesn’t matter whether it is old, young, pretty, ugly; it has to point the right direction and be able to be understood. We are witnesses to Christ, we point to him.” —John White

Acts 5:38,39,41-42 NIV 38 Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.”
 
41 The apostles left the Sanhedrin, rejoicing because they had been counted worthy of suffering disgrace for the Name. 42 Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Messiah.

Only you know what Christ has done for you.  And only you can tell the story effectively, because it is your story…your witness of Christ’s love for you. Its your testimony.

The question is, “Do you believe enough, in making it your purpose in life, to share your story?

Well, we can do a lot of good things and work very hard in a lot of religious activities.  But, as in the case of the Apostles and every person that God uses; are the things you are doing, pointing others to Christ? Are your efforts proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ?

The take-away today is; if you are a witness of Christ, then nothing will be able to stop you.

May God continue to show you His unconditional love and grant you the strength and boldness to show and give this love to others.
