Won’t Keep Quiet!
"Now when they had seen Him, they
made widely known the saying which
was told them concerning this Child."
Luke 2: 17
When Robert Annan of Scotland gave his life for Christ,
he immediately felt a burden for the lost. A stonemason
by trade, he devoted his spare time to witnessing on the
streets, writing Bible verses in chalk on the sidewalks.
He witnessed to everyone he met.
He drowned at age 32 while
saving a boy who fell in
the river. Thousands attended his funeral, and after-
ward a man was on his grave,
sobbing and saying, “I
have been a very wicked man, but the grace of God,
perhaps, will do for me what it did for Robert Annan.”
When shepherds left the stable on that
first Christmas, they couldn’t keep quiet.
They told everyone
what they had seen.
Disciples did the same after the Resurrection,
saying, “We cannot but speak the things which
we have seen and heard” (Acts 4:20).
Witnessing is
telling others what has happened
to you. Let’s pray for spiritual excitement in telling
others the wonderful things God has done for us.
This season say a word for the Savior.
"I love you, and my prayer is that your
heart may be broken by the
power
and love of Christ and His cross."
Robert Annan
