WITNESS TO THE ONE=WHO
(Has COME Before us)!
The FIRST apostles=and Judas’ REPLACEMENT=Matthias=and
Jesus’
Other disciples=Were the EARLY ONES=BEARING WITNESS=to the
Lord=
And his GOSPEL=In all cases=I believe=They were MARTYRS=EXCEPT
For John the apostle=Whom Jesus loved=and HE was a LIVING
MARTYR=
With his life=On the ISLAND of Patmos=”With great POWER=The
apostles=
BORE WITNESS=to the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus……..” Acts
4:33
WE are all=Every SINGLE one of us=Called to Bear witness=TO
THE ONE=
WHO Came Before us=We are Called=TO BEAR WITNESS=with out
lives=and
EXAMPLE=as well as WITH our WORDS and testimony=IN our
families=THROUGH
Our families=and every one else=WE TOUCH=BEARING WITNESS=To
the ONE=
WHO CAME BEFORE US!
“A good tree=Cannot BEAR bad fruit=and a bad tree=Cannot
BEAR good fruit:” Matthew 7:18
“You did not choose me=But I chose you=and appointed you=So
that you might
Go and BEAR fruit=--------Fruit that will last--------and so
whatever you ask=in
My name=The Father will give you=This is my command=LOVE
each other” John 15:16-17
“We who are strong=Ought to BEAR with the failings=of the weak=and
NOT to
Please ourselves”
Romans 15:1
Jesus was ONE of a KIND=The world=had NOT seen=the LIKES of
him before=and
Will never see another GOD/man=Like him again=THROUGH HIS
WITNESS=to the
Holy Father God=and to ALL of us=He INSPIRED the early
apostles=and disciples=Like
Saints Paul and Barnabas=to PREACH=in his name=They served
AS WITNESSES=to
The RISEN Jesus=The Christ
This MANTLE=has fallen to us today=To PREACH=in the Lord’s
name==In an era
Of Coldness=Indifference=Ingratitude=Luke warmness=and
REJECTION=To the Holy Father
God and Jesus=And His Son=it falls to US
The 21st CHRISTIAN Apostles of Christ=to BEAR
CONTINUING WITNESS=to the ONE=
WHO HAS COME BEFORE US!=”ONE WITNESS=is mot enough to
convict anyone=
Accused of any crime=or offense=They may have committed=A
matter must be=
ESTABLISHED=by the testimony of=TWO OR THREE WITNESSES” Deuteronomy 19:11
We should=Have an ARMY of modern day WITNESSES=Testifying to
those
AMAZING MIRACLES of Jesus=and BRINGING him alive=ALL OVER
AGAIN=In
This the 21st century=NOT JUST WITNESSES=But
bearing HIS LOVE=by word=by deed
And by example=WITNESSING TO=THE ONE+WHO CAME BEFORE US!
Just like Jesus’ Cousin John did=”He himself=Was not the
light=He came only as
A WITNESS=To the light”
John 1:8
That is OUR JOB too=My dear brothers and sisters=To give
WITNESS=to the LIGHT=
To the healings and MIRACLES=and to give TESTIMONY=to his
Teaching and Preaching
WITNESSING to the Lord=Modern day EXAMPLES=Just
following=THE ONE WHO
CAME BEFORE US!
“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”
Acts 1:8
That is what=The EARLY apostles did=and that is EXACTLY=what
we should be doing=
We may NOT have=to die=as the early apostles did=for the
CAUSE=But we Can still
BE Modern day witnesses=by WORD AND DEED=Wherever we are=ALL
the days of
Our life
In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our FOREVER LIVING=forever
loving=forever
WITNESSING=to the LOVE=The Holy Father God!
