One of the comic strips I follow is Back to B.C. by Johnny Hart. These are his strips from back in the day when he began the B.C. comic, like 1958 when some of us weren't not yet born, or even knew how to type good American English. One of the guys in the strip today wishes that he was born a discoverer instead of a witness. That reminded me of the wishing I hear from not only myself but my brothers and sisters in Christ too. We can be a pretty discontented bunch at times, even a bunch of grumblers. Oh dear, not those guys, not us!
Witness is not such a bad title after all. John was called to witness the Revelation. Matthew, Mark, and John were called to witness the life of Christ. Luke had a little different calling as an investigator of the life of our Lord, but then he was called to witness the acts of the apostles and even scribe some of Paul's great letters to the churches. Witnessing is so very important to our Lord as we can see from the testimony of John, Luke, Paul and many others. Bearing witness, carrying the story of our Lord Jesus to those who live with no hope is an important job in the Kingdom. We need not be ashamed of our witness; it is the work for which we were reborn.
Have a great Friday in the grace of our Lord Jesus!
