“When the Advocate comes whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth that proceeds from the Father, he will testify to me. And you also testify, because you have been with me from the beginning." (John 15: 26 NABRE).
Jesus says that His disciples will testify to Him. Testify = Witness. Are you ready for this?
First, how do we testify to Jesus?
By our life and by words. A couple of days ago, we saw a picture of the character of Jesus through the 12 fruits of the Holy Spirit. If you apply those fruits in your daily life, you witness to Jesus. And people notice.
Your lifestyle no matter how perfect it is, may never be enough to close the deal. You must add a critical ingredient. Words! "So faith comes from hearing, that is, hearing the Good News about Christ." (Romans 10: 17 NLT). Yes indeed. You must share the Good News that is Jesus.
The Apostle Peter nails in the argument. Your friends and neighbors notice the peace and joy in your life and wonder why and how. "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect." (1 Peter 3: 15).
