Name Tags: You Are… Witnesses

“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “that I am God.”

Isaiah 43:12 (NIV)

He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things.

Luke 25:46-48 (NKJV)

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 (NKJV)

Imagine yourself on the witness stand. It's a re-trial: The world versus Christ. His first trial was in Jerusalem, and the Accused refused to testify. So the jury shouted, 'Crucify Him' (Luke 23:21). The governor agreed. The deed was done!

But the condemned Preacher DIDN’T STAY DEAD! Marvelously, He walked out of the tomb and was seen on Earth for 40 more days… until He ascended back to His Home.

TODAY’S COURT concerns Christ’s reputation! Many believe He never existed. Others claim He was a phony con man... or maybe a prophet, but not God's Son.

The story is far too incredible, and pretenders have been false witnesses.

Today’s jury is more than 12 people. It's billions, including His Own lost sheep!

If they can SIMPLY HEAR their Shepherd's Voice, God says they'll recognize Him and follow. But how can they physically hear Him, when Jesus (in human form) isn’t here?

Through YOU, His witnesses, now standing up on the public platforms of media:

  • Not in condemning or sermonizing…

  • But in a kindness so real, it connects;

  • In a joy so compelling, it uplifts;

  • In a beauty so fresh, it surprises;

  • In a tone so gentle, it penetrates covered ears– reaching down into the heart!

Actors, models, and talent for Christ:

YOU are the evidence of God’s glory (on flat screens that are now public courtrooms). Don’t let anything prevent your witness: not doubts, tough times, or human common sense. Nothing about your calling is common.

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players.’ Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
