OUR WITNESS=IS INDISPENSABLE TOO!
The witness of the
ORIGINAL APOSTLES=and Saint Paul
Was indispensable
In CHANGING THE WORLD
IMAGINE how it felt
To be a part of
SOMETHING NEW=and vibrant
Imagine how it felt
For them=
In giving THEIR TESTIMONY
About the changing power
Of Christ in their world
“The word of God-
Continued to SPREAD AND GROW”
Acts 12:24
But OUR WITNESS=
Our testimony=IS INDISPENSABLE TOO!
In changing the world=
In bringing new believers
To God our Holy Father
And Jesus Christ
It must have been EXCITING
For the apostles
To be in=ON THE GROUND FLOOR
Of something new=
THEIR TESTIMONY
Was indispensable=in bringing about change
“On the contrary-
Those parts of the body
That seem to be weaker
ARE INDISPENSABLE”
1 Corinthians 12:22
But 2,000 years later
OUR CHALLENGE
Is to rediscover
THIS SENSE OF EXCITEMENT
To bring a NEW
And exciting WITNESS
To God and Jesus’ Kingdom
OUR WITNESS=
IS INDISPENSABLE TOO!
“He put a NEW SONG
In my mouth
A hymn of praise=to our God
Many will see
And fear the Lord
And put their trust=in him” Psalm
40:3
“Therefore if anyone
Is in Christ
The NEW CREATION=has come
The old is gone
The NEW is here”
2 Corinthians
5:17
“Yes I am writing you
A NEW COMMAND
Its truth is seen=in him
And in you=
Because the darkness is passing
And the true light
Is already shining”
1
John 2:8
PEOPLE TODAY=in this world
Even in our own country
ARE LOST=
Living without purpose
Our challenge is to
Make GOD’S WORD
As alive and vibrant today
As it was
When the NEW CHURCH=was just beginning
That is WHY
OUR WITNESS is as
INDISPENSABLE TODAY=as it was
At the time of the apostles
In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our Holy Father God=who
is=THE WORD ITSELF!
