One of the things I’ve noticed recently as I have read
through the four gospels is how confident Jesus is that His witness of the
Father and His teachings are confirmed by the witness of the Spirit. He taught fearlessly things that no man
can know without revelation and that no man can hear and believe without the
confirming witness of the Spirit. His confidence that His witness was confirmed
teaches me to trust that my witness
to the truth will also be confirmed. It teaches me that it is the Lord’s work
to confirm witness, while my work now is to give witness.
I think we have to all learn that in order to do missionary
work today. In a secular world
that denies the unseen, or among religious people who deniy the power of the
Spirit or the power of godliness, it is really tempting to begin to think that
it all depends on us and how smart or
eloquent we are. Thankfully it
doesn’t depend on us, and that is why we all can share the gospel.
