We cannot save anyone. The burden of love and affection we have for the lost can sometimes become crippling from a fear of offense or ridicule. How do we share the good news without looking like we’re judging our neighbors? Jesus commissions His Apostles as witnesses and then leaves them with the supernatural power of the Spirit to accomplish that work to which they are incapable of achieving.
Observations & Conclusions:
- The Word of God is the source of the good news
– but your mind must be opened to the truth - The Son of God is the message of the good news
– but it must be in His name - The promise of God for all nations is the direction of the good news
– but it starts where you live - The Spirit of God is the power to share the good news
– but it must be in His strength
Application:
The people of God are witnesses of the good news
– but we must be ready to share it
