What does the Bible say about our Christian testimonies? Shortly before Christ delivered His Great Commission to His followers (Matthew 28:19-20), Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane, praying that the cup of suffering might be taken from Him. Naturally, He desired that there might be another way for us to be rescued from the penalty of sin. But supernaturally, because He was both God and man, His will was ready to be completely submitted to that of the Father.
While He was there, we read that Peter boldly proclaimed he would never desert or betray his master! How Jesus must have loved Peter, for He knew in advance what Peter would do, and that he would, indeed, betray Jesus. Notice in Matthew 26, when Peter was accused of being a follower of Christ, the first thing he did was to deny it.
Where is your heart today? Are you a believer in Christ? Are you a follower of Christ? Have you been afraid to admit it because you might be perceived as "weird" by your friends or family? Be careful that you don't regret that distancing, as Peter did just moments later.
Has Christ done a work in your life? Then tell someone! It may be just exactly what they need to hear, to give them faith that God can work in their life, too! He doesn't need our help reaching people. However, He does desire it-and that is the greatest Christian testimony of all. God wants you and me to partner with Him in the work He is doing! Won't you tell someone today? Let your life be your Christian testimony.
