We are to be witnesses for the Lord, and to do so at home, and abroad... to the end of the earth. Jesus tells His disciples this at the moment before His ascension, and this commandment is meant also for us. So we should think back and ask ourselves “When was the last time I witnessed for Jesus?”, and hopefully the answer doesn’t disappoint us.
Are you living an exemplary life of faith, and do you take pride in this? Do you look down on those who are less perfect, and lord over them in piety? Let me ask you one question... at what point has Jesus made you feel like less? As He walks with you, a sinner, He doesn’t talk down to you, or gloat about His perfection, He speaks to you with His arm around your shoulder, or while sitting at your table; so who are we to elevate ourselves?
As believers in Jesus Christ are we strangers to the world? Do we separate ourselves in our faith and behavior to the point where those who once called us friend can no longer recognize us? Our faith sets us apart from the sin that is in the earth, and although it pursues us like wolves; we are strangers to its pack. Jesus was like a foreigner to His own, just as we should be to ours.
