Something to think about.
From the Beginning
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched—this we proclaim concerning the Word of life. 1 John 1:1
John in such complete eloquence is able to encapsulate the embodiment of the promised Messiah of Israel and the world. He is talking about the Christ who was at the beginning of creation and then became man so that John and the disciples and many other could touch, feel and know Him as Jesus. He is testifying of the glorious majesty of God that came to man in the person of Jesus.

Witnesses
Something to think about.
Witnesses
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14
The operative word in this verse is we. John is testifying to what he and his associates have seen. He is testifying to the life of Christ and is speaking as a representative of others that have seen the same thing, a spokesman. We often take the witnesses of Christ to lightly. There aren't any other witnesses to any ancient historical event as well documented as the life of Christ. These are real people testifying to real events that occurred that have changed the course of history. We should rely on the testimony of biblical witnesses and not on the conjecture of man.

The Light
Something to think about.
The Light
6 There was
a man sent from God whose name was John. 7 He came as a witness to
testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8
He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the
light.John 1:6
John heralded the coming of Jesus as the Christ.
Today some two thousand years later he is still doing the same thing. He
is still proclaiming the truth of Christ. Only he is not alone; we
stand alongside John witnessing and testifying about the Savior of the
world. We the brothers and sisters of Christ, the adopted sons and
daughters of God, are the light of the world. It is the life of Christ
in us that allows us to shine, lighting the way to salvation which is
Jesus.

Make Known
Something to think about.
Make Known
25 “Righteous
Father, though the world does not know you, I know you, and they know
that you have sent me. 26 I have made you known to them, and will
continue to make you known in order that the love you have for me may be
in them and that I myself may be in them.” John 17:25-26
The
purpose of Jesus was to make known the unseen God. It was all done so we
would know the love of God. Jesus said He would continue to make it
known to us. He does that and will continue to do that by living in us.
We are to be the open door of love which makes the unseen God known. It
is now we who are to make Him “God” known to man. It is now my
responsibility, and your responsibility to be Jesus to the world.

For All, He Has Done
Something to think about.
For All, He Has Done
49 For this I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations,
and sing to your name. Psalm 18:49 (ESV)
In
this Psalm, David is praising God for all He has done. What has God
done for you? What do you have to tell the world about? If you don't
have anything to praise God for something is missing and it is not God.

One Generation
Something to think about.
One Generation
One generation shall praise Your works to another,
And shall declare Your mighty acts.Psalms 145:4
This
verse is not referring to the old testament acts. It is meant to be
current. It is you praising the works of God to your succeeding
generation. You are testifying to what God has done in your life.
