When you are in love, it is an exciting and touching emotion! The same holds true of your love for YESHUA. It’s hard to keep it to yourself! The JOY that comes from loving and knowing your Savior spills over, bearing witness!
YESHUA calls us to be witnesses to the world around us. The word witness means to see, hear or know by personal presence, perception; to testify, or bear witness to and give evidence of!
In our Scripture today, John (YESHUA’S disciple) writes about his firsthand experience on how filled he was with joy from knowing YESHUA and wanted to share that joy!
1 John 1:3-4
“That which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. And these things we write to you that your joy may be full.”
Witnessing is not a matter of eloquence or talent. It’s an overflow of your personal relationship with YESHUA. As you allow the Holy Spirit to increasingly express His life and power through you, may your joy overflow onto others.
