To bear witness



Life to me is not a thing to waste words on,
provided that
when I finish my race
I have carried out
the mission
the Lord Jesus gave me,
and that was
to bear witness
to the Good News
of God's grace.

Acts 20:24 Jerusalem Bible

  1. The words of a true apostle or'sent one'. How it stirs the heart of those who would aspire to follow him as he did Christ in going outside the camp and bearing the shame among the sinners.

    Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore. For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.
