Witness Description

Witness

When we have good news, we naturally want to share it with others. We want others to participate in the good things, the good experiences, the good encounters that we have had, so we invite them to try what we already tried. Sharing good news is evangelism, whether we’ve used that term or not. Jesus gave his disciples directions to “go” and make more disciples; to share the good news he had taught them (Matthew 28:18-20). The damage that’s been done to the term “evangelism” shouldn’t stop us from sharing the good news of Jesus with others. We’re able to share good news about restaurants, movies, and consumer goods. How much more important is it to share the good news of how Jesus works in our lives – the best news ever – with others? And even better, Jesus has promised to be with us in this work (Matthew 28:20).
