Every one of the people we’ve had in our home (or car) have been met with and treated with the same worthiness and loving hospitality as the next, and because they were youth, the same caring shield of authority while in our care. Yet, they didn’t live with the same expectation we had of our own children nor did we love them as we love our own.

God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ” God also told Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The LORD, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered in every generation.

What they reported was immediate, earnest, and urgent, but yet a simple witness. Neither of them made Jesus out to be someone He wasn’t, and they didn’t have to defend who He was. All they did was bring others to Him by them what they’d witnessed and known of Him in their own lives; He was enough. Jesus’ words and His person stood alone. We need to remember that as we share Christ. He is still the Christ, Messiah, and He will always stand alone. Jesus Christ.
