Jesus’ Witnesses

How are you bearing witness to Jesus? What enables you to bear witness to Jesus? Where do you bear witness to Jesus—in what places do you share the good news?
As followers of Jesus, we are called to bear witness—to share the good news of Jesus with everyone we encounter.
God empowers us by his Holy Spirit to enable us to effectively share the good news of Jesus with others.
God desires for us to share the good news of Jesus wherever we are, with those around us, and to the ends of the earth, so that everyone might know Jesus.
The Physician Luke recorded Jesus’ words in the Book of Acts, where Jesus said, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8, ESV).
As followers of Jesus, God gives us the power of God for the mission of God. We are his witnesses, bearing witness to Jesus and his work and his word in the world.
May we be Jesus’ witnesses throughout all the world—empowered by his Holy Spirit—from where we are—to the ends of the earth.
In Christ alone, Robbie
A Collect For Mission, III: “Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the Cross that everyone might come within the reach of your saving embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know you to the knowledge and love of you; for the honor of your Name. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
