Though, the first Apostles were special witnesses of the sufferings, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, for they experienced the same personally; yet, as we've been baptized with the Holy Spirit - being gracefully gifted with Heavenly Wisdom to understand God's glorious Word, we've become witnesses of the Truth, ordained by the Prince of Peace to advance God's Kingdom by proclaiming the Good News of Salvation to all, no matter the cost to ourselves (Acts 1:8). This is our Christ's calling in which we are identified as Heirs of the Father, and friends, testifying of His unconditional love for us, even as we endlessly bear more fruits that remain, for His glory.
Therefore, as witnesses of Jesus, who laid down His life to take it up again, let's not relent in our selfless service; reaching out to all nations, making disciples, and teaching them with the knowledge of God's Word, to obey Jesus' instructions, "baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit," by whom we've been commissioned to do so, for the advancement of God's Kingdom (Matthew 28:19-20).
PRAYER: Thank you gracious LORD, and Ever-loving Father, for Calling and making me a witness of Your Divine Word, through the Holy Spirit, that I may always testify of Your Good News, for the Salvation of souls, in Jesus' name;
Amen.
From Luke 24:48
