WITNESS STAND (St Stephens day) You will be brought to trial before rulers and kings, to give witness before them. Matthew 10:18 Christmas is a special opportunity to witness for Jesus. Because St. Stephen was the first witness to give up His life for Jesus the faithful Witness (Rv 1:5), it is appropriate that he is the first of the Christmas saints. Witnessing is not just saying good things about Jesus. Witnessing is communicating a personal experience of Jesus. St. Stephen was a witness not just because he spoke about Jesus, but because he saw Jesus at the Fathers right hand and proclaimed this to the crowd (Acts 7:56). Witnesses for Jesus share not just what they have received from other human beings in conversation or instruction. Rather, their witness is based on their personal experience of revelation from Christ (Gal 1:12). Are you a witness of Christ? Father, may my simple, persistent witness shake the social fabric in which Im involved. Amen. Good morning and have a wonderful boxing day.
