Boldness In Our Witness

John 4: 25-26


The woman said, "I know that Messiah (called Christ) is coming. When he comes he will explain everything to us." Then Jesus declared, "I who speak to you am He."

Jesus was not shy with this woman, but came out clearly stating that He was the Messiah she was looking for. He didn't beat around the bush or play guessing games with her, He said right out, "I am He"! She was ready to accept Him, and did so joyfully, sharing with everybody in the town.

We also, who have God's Spirit in us, need not be shy in proclaiming to others that wonderful Good News (Gospel) that Jesus really is who He claims to be, and He really did die and rise from the dead. We can be as bold with our acquaintances as Jesus was with this woman, in sharing how wonderful is the new life we gain through His blood, that begins right now in this life and continues on forever eternally.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
