January 21 | Make Jesus Known
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”  Acts 1.8

Reading: Acts 1

Through the disciples, what God promised and said about the Holy Spirit empowering them to be His witnesses will happen and the gospel will spread and the beat went on and on from the first century and beyond to now.  The beat goes on and continues through you and I.  We are called to be Jesus’ witness here in our city, which begins at home and in our neighborhood, our Jerusalem; and goes beyond as we go to work and other places in surrounding areas; our Judea and reaching those who are the unlovable, the outcasts, our Samaria; and then to the remotest parts of the world.  The beat goes on through you and I.  We are Jesus’ witnesses empowered just as the disciples were.

Prayer:  Lord, let me be your witness daily.  Help me to have courage, as I remember that I am indwelled by the Holy Spirit and His power which is my great help in being a witness of Jesus.  Give me a witnessing vision for my Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria and help me to have a heart for the whole world.
