Witness

P.K.’s Corner
John 17:23 “… so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.”

In the final chapters of Christ before the crucifixion, Jesus prays for the disciples. But in that prayer, Christ points out that he has been a witness for the love of God in the world. In fact, Jesus’ entire ministry was proof of God’s love and Christ was the witness. Soon, it was going to be the disciple’s turn to witness to the world.

Have you ever thought about what it means to be a witness? We think of courts and evidence and CSI, but it is more than just telling the truth. To be a witness for Christ means living for Christ. You see we must be a walking billboard of God’s love of God’s creation. But in order to be a witness, we must first believe in the Way, the Truth and the Life.

The key to being a witness for Christ is having a relationship with Christ. We are called to witness to the world, but unless we believe, our witness is impugned.

I guess the question we must keep asking ourselves is “What kind of witness am I for Christ.

Amen
