The Word of our Witness

Jesus - He is the Word of our testimony.
Does that mean if my life declares an upside-down Kingdom ethic and someone asks, "Why did I respond that way?" Should I simply say “Jesus” and walk away?
By no means!

If someone brings you a baked good that tastes perfect, as most brownies do, and you ask, “Where did you get these?” and they say, “I made them from scratch.” What does that mean if you want to eat more? You have to go to them and ask them for a favor.
BUT, if they say, “I bought them at Publix,” then you can go get three for yourself every afternoon when you drink your creamer coffee.

when someone enjoys the fruit of the Spirit of God in your life, you are able to say, “I responded that way because it is the way that my Savior Jesus continually responds to me. It is what I have, am currently, and will always receive from Him! He is so patient with me; He is so kind and caring; He is so forgiving and compassionate with me.”

What is happening there?
You are testifying to the abundant love of Christ
You are testifying to your need for that love.
You are provoking them to go to Him.
You are testifying with the posture of the witness in the wilderness, John the Baptist, who said, I must decrease, and He must increase! Please do not think that I am the one you should follow, or that I am the source of these things! In your need, go to Him!

May today be a day when the Kingdom of God is revealed through us in greater measure in our homes and workplaces!

By His Grace Alone!
