| How many reasons are there for the Holy Spirit coming and living in our hearts? There are probably many more than we realize. We are adding another one from our reading today. The Holy Spirit has come to witness to Christ through us. This is the teaching of the whole of the New Testament. Actually a Christian who is not witnessing is a contradiction. Witnessing should be a way of life for us all. It is not merely by spoken words that we witness for Christ. It is also by our life day by day. If the Holy Spirit is allowed to work in our lives, we will be reproductions of Christ. He will be seen in our actions and our reactions. Our old nature will not continue to be victorious. Our new nature, given to us when we accepted Christ, will take the upper place in our lives. Don't you think others will see this? But no life is good enough, even so, to set forth Christ fully. Therefore the spoken word is also necessary. We may have only a few moments with a person. Our lives could not fully set forth Christ in two minutes or even an hour. But what should we say? The Holy Spirit will give us the words to say. He wants to speak about Christ through us so he will certainly tell us what to say. 'You shall be my witnesses', Christ said. How? After the Holy Spirit has given you the power. Why not ask him today to make you the witness he wants you to be? REMEMBER: Witnessing is not a gift, it is a privilege and responsibility. |
