We have been living with a pandemic for weeks and months.
Followers of Christ, we have a testimony of God’s faithfulness to us… no matter the outcome of the pandemic in our lives.

Jesus warned His disciples of this kind of world-wide plague.
Jesus was talking to His disciples about what they could expect in the coming days and years.

Luke 21:7-19 gives a list of what the world can expect in the last days.  Do I think these are the last days?  I have no idea.  I do know we are closer today than we were yesterday.  I can know that my God, the living God of the Holy Bible, knows.

Think about the first century Christians… they were persecuted because of their faith in the Lord Jesus as their Savior.  You can read about their lives.  Many of them died as a martyrs.  The book of Acts gives us some examples.  The “Foxe’s Book of Martyrs” details the death of some believers due to their faith.

Jesus told His disciples these catastrophes in your lives are “an opportunity for your testimony.”  Luke 21:13

Your reaction to your circumstances and how you became a follower of Christ is your testimony.  Your behavior and your words gives God the credit for working in your life.

No one else has your testimony… it is yours.   You are to tell how God worked and is working in your life!

We are to endure in these days… because our God, the living God is our Savior, Redeemer, Father, Guide and Friend. Luke 21:19

~ Take it to heart ~

Your testimony: show your trust in God!
Your testimony:  tell of God’s faithfulness to you!
