Can I get a witness?

It's amazing how important peoples stories can be. When we hear about something we need to know that the source is reputable and that we can trust the source. The witness of a reliable individual. We see this in the death of Jesus in John 19:28-37.

The author makes an interesting side note in the story of Jesus death taking place according to prophecy in vs 35. John tells us that he used a direct witness to these events as a source. It adds a sense of authenticity doesn't it? But we see a couple things about this man. First, he was sure of what he saw. He knew that everything he was testifying to was accurate. Second, he was doing this so that others may believe. He had a method and a purpose.

We are called to do the same thing. While we may not have been at the cross that day that Jesus was crucified, we can see God working in our lives in other ways. We need to watch for these instances, be sure of what they are, and share them with those around us so that they may believe. This is true for Christians and unbelievers. We can be that authentic source others are looking for to encourage their belief. Will you follow in the footsteps of this unnamed man in verse 35? How is God working in your life? Can I get a witness?
