Jesus said, you will be witnesses of Me. Which means, a witness, you're
going to bear the facts. What are the facts? The facts are that Jesus
Christ was the eternal Word of God.

He came and He took on flesh. And He was born of a virgin. And He came
forth and His open ministry, He did miracles.

And He healed the leper. And He cast out the demons over here. And He
raised the dead.

And He said, look at that palsied man. I can heal him to show you that I
can heal you of your sins. And I raise these dead.

I show you that I can raise you from the dead. And He did these
miracles. And He put all of His credentials out there on the table.

And when He had gone three years doing these things and showing the
world that He was the Messiah and proving to Him that He was fulfilling
the Scriptures and doing the works that the Father had given Him, and
teaching them this message that the Father had given Him, and then He
turns His head towards Jerusalem. And He rides in there on a colt. And
we know what happened.

We know that they put Him on trial. And we know that they found Him
guilty. And we know that He gave His life's blood.

And He died and there was that cross and they crucified Him. And there
was burial and there was that grave. And He came out after three days.

And for forty days, He was seen by upwards of over 500 people, most of
whom were alive when Paul wrote to the Corinthians. And that's the
story. Those are the facts.

And He ascended up on high and that's what He began to do and teach. And
now He continues to do it and He calls us to go forth and witness to
those facts. And that's what we're called to do.

We don't have to be eloquent like Spurgeon. We go forth and we say the
facts. And we're going to tell this world about our Savior.

It's this Jesus Christ that we are to tell this world about. And we go
forth, yes, in our weakness. And we go forth waiting upon the Lord.

We go forth with this Gospel. We don't have to invent some new thing.
They didn't get fancy.

They didn't get creative. I mean, you look at Peter on the day of
Pentecost. He's saying the facts.

Paul walks into that synagogue. He says, he had to suffer and he rose.
This Jesus is the Christ.
