Witness
April 21 – May 5, 2019
How does one know the resurrection is real? It comes through the testimony of faithful followers of Christ. The testimony is not simply words but actions that reveal the living Christ to others. Otherwise, as the Apostle Paul asserts: “If Christ hasn’t been raised, then our preaching is useless and your faith is useless” (1 Corinthians 15:14). In other words, Easter is dependent on witnesses. Do we witness to the resurrection with boldness and conviction or hesitation and uncertainty?
