There is a story told about a man who
was accused of some wrongdoing and was brought before a judge. When the judge
asked if he had an attorney to represent him, the man answered, "No, I
can't afford one."
The judge replied, "Well, don't
worry about that. I'll appoint a lawyer
to represent you, and I will choose a real good one."
"I appreciate that, Judge,"
answered the man. "But if you
really want to appoint somebody to help me, what I need most is not a real good
lawyer, but several real good witnesses!"
And
that's what God wants too, isn't it?
Some good witnesses! Will you
step forward and volunteer for that job?
That's our calling as Christians -- to be God's witnesses. Let's define the term. A good witness is one who knows something
firsthand, one who has seen or heard or experienced something. A good witness is one who can bring the truth
to light.
