It is very common for us to tell many what we have “seen and “heard”. Usually it’s about a ball game, big event or
bad news, we have repeated what we have seen and heard.
The Apostles Peter
and John did the same thing, it’s very human.
Notice in Acts 4:20, Peter says to his accusers, But Peter and John answered
and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you
more than unto God, judge ye. 20 For
we cannot (stop) but speak the things which we have seen and heard.
John would repeat this in his book 1 John 1:1
That
which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen
with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the
Word of life
Jesus Christ made a big impression on His disciples
(learners) as a teacher and Lord. Look at the books of bible, Matthew, a
disciple of Jesus, tries to tell us what he had seen and heard, as his book
shows Jesus Christ as the King of the Jews, as a large part of theologians would
agree. Also 1st and 2nd Peter, Peter had seen and heard
Him to be Hopeful in Him and 1st, 2nd, 3rd
John and the Gospel of John, which tells us what John had “seen and heard” that
Jesus is the son of God.
Just to name a few of His disciples, but these men,
followed Him as they turned away from their occupations and followed Christ
Jesus. They believed and trusted in Him and they told us, through their
writings what they had seen and heard.
May I say as a personal testimony, that when I speak,
preach or blog, I am telling you and informing you, what I have “seen and heard”
of the Lord Jesus Christ. During the 1980s, 1990s and now 2000s I have seen and
heard many things while in meetings and service for Him. People saying yes to Jesus for soul salvation,
homes being brought together, other people getting their life right with the Lord,
healing physically, spiritually and emotionally. And it all started at my own personal
salvation, when I got save in 1974. A thirteen-year-old boy, really at the
crossroads of my life, I chose Christ!!
And now my friend, the same can start with ‘YOU”. Today can be the day of salvation for you,
for YOU can call on the name of the Lord and be saved!!
The bible says in the book of Romans chapter 10, for with
the heart man believes and with mouth confession that Jesus is Lord, for
whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Today is the day
of salvation and now is the accepted time!!
May God Bless you and thanks for reading what I have “seen
and heard”
