READ: Acts 26:22-29
Having therefore obtained help of God, I CONTINUE UNTO THIS DAY, WITNESSING BOTH TO SMALL AND GREAT, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:
Acts 26:22
Paul decided to continue witnessing to the small and the great. Many ministers start by talking to the small and end by talking to the great. It is important that you continue to minister to the small and the great.
One day, I went out witnessing with a fellow minister. As we walked together through the streets he remarked, “It is very unusual for someone like you to be witnessing out on the street.” I thought to myself, how strange it is that someone whose work it is to preach the gospel is rarely found out there talking to the small and the great.
Rise up and show your thanksgiving to God by witnessing to the small and to the great. You must say thanks to God by preaching about the cross of Jesus Christ. Do not veer off into vain jangling and high-sounding topics. Today there is a lot of vain jangling coming from the pulpit. There is no need to preach from Encyclopaedia Britannica. All you need to do is to preach about the cross of Jesus Christ and the sufferings that Jesus went through for us.
There is power in the cross of Jesus Christ and in the preaching about the blood of Jesus. It is time to show your gratitude to God by maintaining the cross as the main thing in your life.
Our message is not about what people want to hear. Our message is the cross! As Paul said, “I determined to know nothing amongst you save Jesus Christ and Him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2).
