These Things
“You are witnesses of these things?”
What are the things that Jesus is referring to?
Earlier, Jesus summarized his life, as given in Scriptures, “It is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins.”
Therefore,
Jesus commissions the disciples to witness to God’s love in giving humanity God’s
only Son, who died but rose “for the forgiveness of sins.”
Jesus had also revealed God’s great love in his compassion to sinners, outcasts of society, in his teaching of God’s mercy.
Consequently, the disciples are witnesses of God’s love and forgiveness when they live God’s compassion and mercy that they have seen in the life, action, teaching, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
