So why is it so difficult to be a witness. I am convinced that a big part of it is that we have become convinced by the enemy that the Gospel is not good news. If we are convinced that it is good news we will naturally want to share it, and yet we are somehow afraid that we will offend someone with this news. The Gospel can be offensive in that it is narrow (Jesus I am the way...) and it is not something we can earn (we are a proud people and don't like the fact that there is nothing we can do to make ourselves acceptable to God in our own efforts), but it is still good news.
The other thing that can hold us back is the response we may get. This morning I was doing some study in John 1 and was reminded that even though Jesus is the true light coming into the world, that the world did not know Him. Not because He was in any way hidden, but because people have been spiritually blinded because of sin. I pray that we will see people like Jesus does, with eyes of compassion.
Please let me know how your journey towards being a witness to the good news is going!
