Gentle Witness
Our Daily Bread March 24, 2014
You shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and
Samaria, and to the end of the earth. —Acts 1:8
Years ago, I was hospitalized following a life-threatening, 38-foot fall
from a bridge. While I was there, the wife of the man in the next bed
stopped to speak to me. “My husband just told me what happened to
you,” she said. “We believe God spared your life because He wants
to use you. We’ve been praying for you.”
O Come Let us Adore Him
Christ the Lord!
I was stunned. I had grown up going to church, but I had never
imagined that God would want to be involved in my life. Her words
pointed me to a Savior I had heard of but did not know—and marked
the beginning of my coming to Christ. I cherish the memory of those
words from a gentle witness who cared enough to say something to a
stranger about the God whose love is real. Her words conveyed care
and concern, and offered purpose and promise.
Jesus challenged His disciples—and us—to tell others about the love
of God: “You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon
you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea
and Samaria, and to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8).
Through the Holy Spirit our words and witness can have the power to
make an eternal difference in the lives of others.
I love to tell the story of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love,
I love to tell the story, because I know ’tis true;
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do. —Hankey
Speaking of the Truth, the whole Truth and
Nothing but the Truth

one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave
them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the
gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak
about. 5 For John baptized with[a] water, but in a few days you
will be baptized with[b] the Holy Spirit.”
6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are
you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates
the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive
power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my
witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to
the ends of the earth.”
