— Acts 1:8 (NIV)
Word (Exhortation) - Detailed Explanation
As believers, we are called to be witnesses of God’s grace, mercy, and power. The verse from Acts 1:8 reminds us of the moment when Jesus promises the disciples the empowering of the Holy Spirit. With this power, they are to be witnesses, starting from their local communities and extending to the entire world.
In our everyday lives, being a witness means sharing God’s truth through our words and actions. It’s not just about preaching, but living out our faith, showing others the love and compassion of Christ. In a world that desperately needs light, God calls us to stand firm as his ambassadors, testifying of His goodness. Whether in our work, school, or homes, we are to reflect His glory, and invite others to experience His love.
