Living Proof: Painting A Picture Of Jesus

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


In the Bible, disciples of Christ are called "witnesses." In other words, the first believers to be called witnesses had personally seen Jesus and could testify to the Truth of His person and ministry to others. These first century believers were the living proof of Christ Jesus in this world.

Believers today are called witnesses, as well, as though through a personal conversion and experience of walking by faith we have come to know Christ and, most importantly, He has come to know us. We are the living proof of Jesus Christ in this world.

When I consider my life and how I am living it, how clearly might people be able to see living proof of Christ in it?

When I consider how I am allowing the gift that God created me to be manifest in my life, how clearly might people be able to see living proof of Christ in it?

When I consider who I am and what I do and how I do it, how clearly might people be able to see living proof of Christ in it?

Each of our lives are meant to be a portrait of Christ and a living witness to the wonder that He is. Each of our lives are meant to be a picture of Who He is that is unique to us alone, and yet one in theme with the portraits written upon the lives of believers all over the world.

We need not have paint and canvas and easel. The tools with which we paint our portrait of Christ are personal humility, quiet confidence in Christ, and a compassionate hope for all those around us.

As you watch this wonderful video, please consider how God may already be or may be desiring to paint such a portrait of Christ as this upon the days on your life.
