We Are All Witnesses

The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw.  - Rev 1:1-2

A few years ago, Nike launched an ad campaign heading into the NBA season with the tag line, “We are all Witnesses”.  It was meant to highlight the glory of LeBron James as he dominated another season with his other-worldly basketball skills and led his team to an NBA Championship.  Of course it didn’t quite turn out that way, LeBron failed in the postseason and eventually bolted for another team in another city.  We are all witnesses indeed.

John is our Witness

Something similar happened 2 thousand years ago on the isle of Patmos but instead of millions watching one man, one man witnessed the plan of God and told it to all the world.  That man was the Apostle John and through him, we get a front-row seat to exactly how God’s plan for this world will finally be culminated.  Not to stretch an analogy too far but where LeBron failed in his quest to win a championship, Christ will certainly succeed in His quest to redeem the world and restore it back to its rightful state as perfect and free from decay.

Now it’s our turn

Now the torch has been passed to us.  God has saved us and confirmed His Word to us, now we have the responsibility to be witnesses to the Truth.  Not just observing the Word but testifying to its power and relevance to the world.  All the words of this Life are entrusted to each generation and each generation must go preach the Word, convicting the world of sin and showing them the beauty of the Christ.  God is glorified when His people witness the truth and proclaim it boldly.  We are all witnesses.
