HE WANTS

Reading: Acts 1:1-8
NATS: You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8)

In his book Love Is Now, Peter Gilquist stated that he and his colleagues were invited to be a speaker for a group of students at UCLA [University of California, Los Angeles]. After the meeting, a young man expressed a desire to discuss safety. Therefore, Gilquist arrange a meeting with him the next morning.

The students really wanted what he saw in the lives of Christians. However, he is hesitant to make a commitment because he thought he had to witness to others about Jesus. However, Gilquist convinced that to be a Christian he was not charged with anything other than faith in Christ.

Realizing that salvation is a gift of God through faith, the students happily accept the Lord Jesus as his Savior. However, something strange happened when he returned to the dorm. He met with his friend, then told his friend about his new faith in Christ. Before the day was over, he had testified to everyone in her dorm about Jesus.

Our faith in Christ should reflect a heart full of gratitude, which is a genuine desire to share the blessings of salvation to others. If we are reluctant to testify, let us ask God that He gives us the desire to talk about him. Thus, we will bear witness as we intend to do - RWD

IF YOU KNOW CHRIST
YOU'LL ALSO WANT OTHERS TO KNOW HIM
