Witnessing (1)

 

 

I can understand when people are afraid to witness. I cannot understand when people have no desire to witness for Jesus, to tell others about Him. Nor can I understand when there is no remorse when we don’t witness.

 

How is this possible?

 

After all, Jesus commands us to tell all people about Him. Jesus is the source of salvation, of light and life and hope and joy. How can we not tell others about Him? How can we not feel remorse when we don’t tell others?

 

Worst of all, how dangerous it is when we justify our silence – for we place ourselves above the Word of Jesus, the commands of Jesus. He commanded us to tell others and He commanded us to love others as ourselves – when we don’t witness we reject His Word. When we don’t witness, do we not reject Him?

 

To have the Bread of Life and not offer it to others – to live in a world of famine and drought and have Bread and Water and hoard it, to keep it to ourselves, how is this possible? And to justify such behavior?

 

This tragedy does not seem to bother us.
