Day 12 - 40 Days of Focus: Evangelism

You will be My Witness

How much of the science and history you know is from first-hand experience and how much was passed on to you by others who saw it with their own eyes and then told their story? Personal testimony is a crucial part of human existence. We are constantly exchanging stories about what we’ve seen or heard. In court, one of the best ways to establish truth is to have an eye witness tell what they saw.

Acts 1:8, “ But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Jesus commissioned His followers to be witnesses to the ends of the earth. Anyone who chooses to yield to God has a compelling story to tell. You are already the expert on your own story. Just tell people how Jesus has changed you. That is the best way to plant the seed of truth.
