Re:Verse passage – Luke 24:36:-43; John 20:26-29 (day six)
It was also written that this message would be proclaimed in the authority of his name to all the nations,[f] beginning in Jerusalem: ‘There is forgiveness of sins for all who repent.’ 48 You are witnesses of all these things. Luke 24:47-48
Your faith is personal — but it was never meant to be private.
The beauty of this resurrection encounter is Jesus’ nearness in the midst of fear and doubt. He even invites the disciples to touch him, to move them from uncertainty to belief. As Megan wrote, “Jesus is both our friend and good shepherd.”
But then notice: right after Jesus comforts and reassures, he commissions.
“You are witnesses of these things.”
That’s the movement of the gospel — from personal encounter to public witness.
Faith in Jesus is meant to go public. It’s not just a private assurance; it’s a Kingdom identity. It reshapes who we are in the world.
We are the presence and the proclamation of God’s Kingdom — by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Let’s reclaim that public identity. Let’s live it out loud.
