DON’T KEEP IT FOR OURSELVES
God never gives us anything to keep for
ourselves. Whether it is money, insight, or truth, it has to be shared. Jesus
said in His great command in Matthew 28:19-20, “Go therefore and make disciples
of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and
of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded
you.” To those who witnessed His Ascension He declared in Acts 1:8, “But 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.” Jesus very clearly let His
disciples know that the truth He taught them during the past three years was
not to be kept in a personal reservoir of knowledge. They were to give away
everything they had received.
