You Also Must Testify

Jeremiah 13-15; John 15

“’When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me. And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning.’”

John 15:26, 27

It’s interesting that the word ‘Counselor’ or ‘Advocate’ used to describe the Holy Spirit is the same word used by courts to describe lawyers. The purpose of lawyers is to draw out testimony that assists the court in reaching a verdict or decision. 

All over the world today, the Counselor/Advocate is testifying about Jesus. Today, those of us who know Jesus also have the privilege of testifying about his gospel and transforming power to change lives. We must testify! If we are unable or unwilling to testify about Jesus, we don’t know the reality of the Holy Spirit. The courtroom of public opinion is in session and we are on the witness stand. The Holy Spirit has a question:

What difference has Jesus made in your life?

Lord Jesus, thank you for the Counselor/Advocate and privilege to testify today, for your glory.”
