Looking for witnesses

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.'" Acts 1:8 NLT

According to an article published by Runner's World Magazine yesterday, Police in Lancashire England are appealing for witnesses after a runner was hit by a car in the Worden Park car park around 7:20 p.m. on Thursday, June 13. The female runner, 36, was left with a number of serious fractures and lacerations, they said, and was taken to the Royal Preston Hospital where she is in serious but stable condition. The driver was later arrested on suspicion of dangerous driving and driving while disqualified. The police urged anyone who witnessed the collision, or who has any more information to call them immediately. 

And you know, the Lancashire Police Department isn't the only one looking for witnesses to the truth, Jesus is calling each and every one of us to be witnesses to the Truth everyday, telling people about Him everywhere, "in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." That means you and I are called to go out and share the Good News in all places - in our prisons, throughout our neighborhoods and in the darkest parts of our cities - not stopping until the whole world hears the truth of God's saving grace. 

So let us heed the call to be witnesses today my friend. Let us boldly step out of the comfort of our homes and the safety of our churches to tell people about Jesus remembering that, as followers of Jesus Christ, sharing the gospel is not a suggestion but both a command and a call to action. 

Heavenly Father, thank You for the timely reminder that we are to go out and make disciples of all nations. Open our eyes to the see how desperately our world needs a Savior that we might be bold and brave to obediently obey the call to go out and preach the Truth. It's in your precious name we pray Jesus. Amen. 

Happy Running!!!
