"You Are My Witnesses"


We’re so used to having options and choices in our lives, aren’t we? When you go to a restaurant, you get to choose from a menu. When you buy a car, you get to choose what options you will buy. If you purchase a suit, you get to choose the color and the size. You get to choose what goes in your house. You get to choose where you go on vacation. We’re so used to having choices in our lives that we often can’t comprehend not having those choices.As Christians however, there is one area where we don’t have a choice. That’s in the area of talking about our Savior, or as some will call it, witnessing. That’s not optional. Jesus states this very clearly in our latest disciples directives when He says "YOU ARE MY WITNESSES." He reminds us today that the Holy Spirit prepares us to speak, Jesus commands us to speak and people need to hear our voice. Yes, it’s true. You are Christ’s witnesses here on earth. Speak up!
