What would Jesus say about you?
Do you witness HIS NAME?
A long time ago the lyrics of a couple of wonderful songs by Paul Simon seemed nonsensical to me, yet the soothing sounds settled my thoughts into a place of silence – a tranquility of inaction in a chaotic world.
Suppose Jesus Christ, Lord and King, wanted someone to witness for HIM online. Would it be you?
And if so, do you suppose that Jesus Christ would want you to remain SILENT? (Shouldn’t you at least have a comment about Jesus?)
Take in just a little of the Paul Simon lyric from so many years past:
Hello darkness, my old friend
I’ve come to talk with you again …
There is NO darkness in Christ Jesus. HE calls us to the Light.
Yet hear the warning of Simon’s lyric:
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence“Fools”, said I, “You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
*The Sound of Silence – Paul Simon 1964
SILENCE about sin…
Silence about the Savior of your soul…
A cancer… a cancer of silence about Christ Jesus, in these last days.
So where is your voice? What is your Christian Social Witness?
Are you yet silent?
Where are your comments? Can we have a conversation… can we talk of Jesus if you remain silent?
And if you dare share any scripture in our community of Christians, why not also share your Christian Social Witness with others.
I know it seems out of place to think of Jesus, a King awaiting His Day of triumphal return to give any thought of you; but JESUS LOVES YOU.
Our Lord, who suffered for you on the cross so that you might live is waiting for you to say something — anything – a thank you, or I know Him — JESUS wants your witness to Him.
Dear sister in the Lord, must Jesus plea once more for you:
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine.{Scarborough Fair Lyrics – by Paul Simon}
Dear brother or sister in the Lord,
Just because Jesus loves your friends and your family does not mean that you should keep silent about Him.
Praise His Holy Name!
As much as great lyricists like Paul Simon may speak to us, no music in Christ’s ears is more joyous than your song of witness that HE IS and He loves you. Jesus is our friend. SHARE HIM with the world – the ones who dwell in our old friend, darkness.
Our silence for Jesus breaks His heart. What is your witness? Jesus is a friend of sinners.
