Witnessing When It Costs Most
By Sunday School Times
“GOD wants our conspicuous crises to be occasions of conspicuous testimony.” When the strain is greatest, it is His call to us to let our witnessing for Him be greatest. When we are most deeply wounded in our feelings, or treated with greatest injustice, or ignored most contemptuously, or set aside most unfairly, that is the time of all times when we have opportunity to let Christ show what He can do with a life that has ceased to live to itself because it has lost itself in Him. If at such a time those who are watching us see only a radiance of selfless love and sunshine and trust pour out from us, they will begin to believe that there is something in this Christ whom we profess. But if we break down and act as any one else would in the crisis time of pressure, why should the world believe in our Christ? —Sunday School Times.
