Bible Reading: II Timothy 2:1-15
Key Verse: Verse 13 - “If
we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.”
Key Words: he abideth faithful
As you read
the book of II Timothy, you begin to see that Jesus was a faithful
witness. It matters not if we believe,
Jesus will still be a faithful witness; He cannot deny Himself.
Now this
raises an interesting question: Are we being a faithful witness?
Muhammed Ali
no longer “floats like a butterfly,” but let me assure you, he still “stings
like a bee.” The legendary boxer has
turned his energies toward witnessing, but it is not for Christ. One reporter said, “This is a man who is as
sure about his purpose in life as he was about his talents in the ring.” Ali once said, “I wasn’t just put here to
box. Boxing made me famous and gave
people a reason to listen to me. I was
put here to teach the Islamic faith.”
Recently two
reporters jumped at Ali’s invitation to come up to his private suite after a
banquet. They went expecting to get an
exclusive interview. Instead, they got
an hour of preaching. The former
three-time heavyweight boxing champion had a twenty-page document containing
what he believed to be discrepancies in the Bible. He then said, “People have argued for
centuries about which religion is right and which religion is wrong.” Then waving the Qu’ran in front of them, he
said, “This is the truth.”
Now, while
Muhammed Ali was a great boxer, he is not a great theologian. He is greatly deceived; but his enthusiasm,
zeal, and purpose should certainly be an inspiration to those of us who have
and know the truth about the Faithful One, Jesus Christ.
What to do:
✞Be faithful in your
witness.
✞Be bold, but loving in
your witness.
✞Pray for God to open doors
of opportunity for you to witness.
