This week's sermon took us into one of the most dramatic passages in Scripture—the account of the two witnesses during the tribulation period. We explored how God will raise up two faithful witnesses who will proclaim His truth during the darkest time in human history, warning the world of coming judgment and calling people to repentance. While this prophecy speaks of a future event, it carries profound implications for our spiritual life today. Just as God will use these two witnesses to shine His light in the darkness, He calls each of us to be faithful witnesses right now—bearing testimony to the truth of Jesus Christ and warning those around us of their need for a Savior. The nations may rage, but our God reigns, and He deserves our worship and our faithful service.
Takeaways:
-
We are called to witness now, just as the two witnesses will witness then. God hasn't called all of us to be pastors or preachers, but He has called every believer to share the truth about Jesus. Like those who will witness during the tribulation, we should be grieved over the lostness around us and compelled to tell others where to find the Bread of Life.
-
Our focus must shift from ourselves to God's glory. It's easy to make life about our struggles, our trials, and our circumstances. But passages like Revelation 11 redirect our attention to what matters most: God's kingdom, God's will, and God's reign. Every day should be a day of worship, saying "Lord, it's Your kingdom that's coming, not mine."
-
God's Word is trustworthy and will be fulfilled. From the rebuilding of the temple to the rising of the Antichrist to the vindication of God's faithful servants, everything God has promised will come to pass. This should give us confidence to trust Him today and courage to live faithfully, knowing that He who began a good work will complete it.
As we move through this week, let's ask ourselves: Am I being a faithful witness? Is my life pointing others to Jesus? And am I living with eternity in view, knowing that one day every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord?
