John 5:31-32
Jesus said to the Jews: “If I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is not true. But there is another who testifies on my behalf, and I know that the testimony he gives on my behalf is true.”

In a court of law, merely saying that you did not do it or testifying on your behalf may not be a strong proof of your innocence. All you say must be corroborated by at least one person or you need to have an alibi so the court may believe that you are not guilty.
So, although a lot have been written about Jesus and thousands of testimonies on His behalf, why do we still question whether He is really the Son of God, whether He really existed?
We would remain unbeliever to the end because of the hardness of our heart.
How about doing it the other way around? How about instead of questioning His “authenticity”, why not start living a life committed to His word, and testify on His behalf?
For what is harder – proving that He does not exist, or accepting Him as our Lord and living a life in Him so others may also believe?
So, how do I deal with the greatest, most exciting news in the world—the fact that God loves me so much that His Son died for me to take away my sin and gifted me to share in His resurrection to eternal life?
Do you just keep silent, or do you share that joy and testify to a life with Jesus?
God is inviting us to experience His love through the life, works and words of Jesus. Accept Jesus as your Savior and testify to life.
Let us pray +
Help me, Lord, to boldly proclaim the revelation of who you are “to the ends of the earth” (Is. 49:6). Amen +
Remember us, O Lord, as you favor your people.
