Summary
- Jesus has given every believer the mission of making disciples and sharing the gospel.
- Jesus has all authority, and He promises to be with us always as we serve Him.
- Many people think witnessing is only for pastors, evangelists, or outgoing people. The Bible teaches otherwise.
- Witnessing begins with a personal relationship with Jesus.
- We share Jesus best when we talk about what He has done in our own lives.
- The disciples were ordinary people. They were not highly educated, but people could see that they had been with Jesus.
- Peter and John spoke with courage because they knew Jesus personally and had experienced His power.
- The Holy Spirit gave them boldness and helped their words touch hearts.
- We do not need to know everything before we can witness. We simply share what we have seen, heard, and experienced with God.
- The more we love Jesus, the harder it becomes to keep quiet about Him.
- God places people in our lives every day who need encouragement, hope, and truth.
- We should pray for wisdom to know when to speak, what to say, and how to show Christ’s love.
- True witnessing is the overflow of a heart that is growing closer to Jesus.
Question
- How can I be a witness for Jesus in my daily life?
Answer
- Spend time with Jesus every day and share with others what He is doing in your life. Let your words, actions, and love point people to Him.
Reflection
- If someone spent time with me today, would they be able to tell that I have been with Jesus?
Takeaway
- When we stay close to Jesus, His love fills our hearts and naturally flows out to others. Witnessing is not about being an expert; it is about sharing the Jesus we know and love.
