Witnesses

What was it like to live through 2020? Someday that question will be asked just like some of us have asked about the Great Wars and the Great Depression. We will have lots of stories to tell. And our lives will tell a story too. We are all being changed by the patterns of this year.

The same is true of our life with God. When Jesus says we will be his witnesses (Acts 1:8), he means people will learn about him through our own story. With our lips, we tell of our relationship with him. And with our life, we show how we are being changed by the patterns of his kingdom.

When they saw the boldness of Peter and John and found out that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were astonished and took note of the fact that these men had been with Jesus.
— Acts 4:13
