In this Address, you will hear a message as to the path of Christian witness. Each believer should shine out as a witness for Christ whether it be at school, college or work. This is a real challenge to each one of us, But how amazing it is that we can take courage in Christ as he will help us along the path.
Bible Scriptures: Darby Translation
Matthew 9:1-2 “And going on board the ship, he passed over and came to his own city. And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, laid upon a bed; and Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Be of good courage, child; thy sins are forgiven.”
Matthew 14:23-29 “And having dismissed the crowds, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. And when even was come, he was alone there, but the ship was already in the middle of the sea tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary. But in the fourth watch of the night he went off to them, walking on the sea. And the disciples, seeing him walking on the sea, were troubled, saying, It is an apparition. And they cried out through fear. But Jesus immediately spoke to them, saying, Take courage; it is *I*: be not afraid. And Peter answering him said, Lord, if it be *thou*, command me to come to thee upon the waters. And he said, Come. And Peter, having descended from the ship, walked upon the waters to go to Jesus.”
John 16:32-33 “Behold, [the] hour is coming, and has come, that ye shall be scattered, each to his own, and shall leave me alone; and [yet] I am not alone, for the Father is with me. These things have I spoken to you that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye have tribulation; but be of good courage: I have overcome the world.”
Deuteronomy 31:7 “And Moses called to Joshua, and said to him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and courageous”
Deuteronomy 31:8 ” And Jehovah, he it is that goeth before thee: he will be with thee; he will not leave thee, nor forsake thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.”
Acts 27:22-25 “And now I exhort you to be of good courage, for there shall be no loss at all of life of [any] of you, only of the ship. For an angel of the God, whose I am and whom I serve, stood by me this night, saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has granted to thee all those that sail with thee. Wherefore be of good courage, men, for I believe God that thus it shall be, as it has been said to me.”
