Acts 1:8 — 'You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.' This is Jesus' last promise on earth.
'Power when the Holy Spirit has come' — the power for mission isn't human charisma or organizational skill. It's the Holy Spirit. That's the promise.
'Witnesses' — not lawyers or salespeople. Witnesses simply tell what they've seen and experienced. Your testimony doesn't have to be eloquent. It has to be real.
And the scope is the whole world. Jerusalem first, then outward. Every Christian lives at some point on that map. Your job is to be a witness wherever you are.
