Make Him Known

Read Isaiah 43:1-13

One of my favorite TV shows is Law and Order. While I enjoy the investigation into the crime, what I enjoy most is the court room drama. I love it when the prosecuting or defense attorney is questioning the witnesses involved in the case. The key for both sides is to get the truth out of each witness so justice will be served.

When it comes to the Bible, we're told a lot about the importance of Israel in the Old Testament and disciples in the New Testament and how we're supposed to be God's witnesses in this world. Read Isaiah 43:1-13 and you'll see how our purpose is to know God and make Him known in this world. In Acts 1:8 Jesus says right before He ascends into Heaven that as His followers we will be His witnesses. So that leads us to the question - what's a witness?

A witness is simply someone who testifies (tells the truth) about what they know. Now as God's witness in this world our testimony comes from what we know to be the truth about God. Logic demands that we'll get to know God very well by spending time with Him. How is it you enjoy spending time with God? Some enjoy being with God on a long prayer walk; others enjoy being with God alone with Him, reading His word the Bible; and others enjoy being with other disciples, followers of Christ in various ways but worshiping Him as they are together. Whatever your way is, however you enjoy spending time with God, do so more and more! And as you grow in your knowledge of Him remember we are His witnesses. So let's make Him known!
