Emphasis Preaching Journal

The dictionary definition of "witness" is one who has personal knowledge and gives specific evidence concerning an act or event having taken place in her or his presence. Paul was a personal witness to Christ's appearance on the Damascus Road. The persecutor became the peripatetic apostle when he was confronted by the risen Christ. Legend has it that at the bottom of a farm pond lived a group of gloomy grubs. The grubs failed to understand why none of their deceased kin ever came back to the nether regions of the pond after crawling up the lily stems to the top of the water.
