PIETER’S WORLD

When there is a court case, there are usually witnesses that are called to testify. They are called because they have seen the event in question. Now you get true witnesses that tell the truth, and then you get false witnesses that lie or bend the truth. That really annoys me.  They are an insult to our justice system and the innocent have to pay the price.

In Matthew 28, Jesus said that we would be His witnesses. Every day that we go out into the world, when we walk among people or when we talk to people, we take the witness stand for Christ. We have the true knowledge of who Christ is. We are to witness Christ to others. We are on the witness stand twenty-four-seven and we cannot afford to lie for one moment. We have a relentless accuser, Satan, who will stop at nothing to bring us down, but we also have a faithful Advocate who has never lost a case. When we walk in the world, let our testimonies be true. We should not twist the gospel or the image of Christ to fit us. We are either hot or cold (child of God or child of Satan). Being a Christian that twists the truth makes us lukewarm. They know the Lord but do not do as He says. This is false witnessing.

How do we look as witnesses every day we take the stand for Christ? Are we true to Christ? Let us be good witnesses to Christ everywhere we may go or walk to those we meet and to those whose eyes are on us.
