Understanding The testimony of Christ
.jpg)
The testimony of Jesus is a testimony most Christians don't know, how.much more to bear it. You can go through church and yet never hear about this testimony of Christ. But it is important to know it and bear it, if we are to return back to true Apostolic Christianity and for the current understanding of Christianity to change.
In church today, there is a time allotted for testimonies where someone comes up to testify. But what is testimony? A testimony is a witness of a person. And a witness gives information or knowledge regarding something he has seen. Also a testimony is an account of firsthand experience.
Just like people give testimony, so also Jesus has a testimony. But his testimony is unlike any for it is Jesus who testifies and his testimony is all about him. When you read through the earthly walk of Jesus in the four Gospel, you will see that Jesus bore witness of himself many times
John 3:32-33
32 And what he hath seen and heard, that he testifieth; and no man receiveth his testimony.
33 He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true.
Jesus testified of Himself being the light of the word (John 8:12), also said that they should search the scriptures, for in them they think they shall find life which can only be found when the scriptures testify of Jesus Christ (John 5:39-40)
Jesus bore witness to himself being the Resurrection and the life, not just that He raises the dead but he himself is the resurrection (John 11:25). He testified of Himself being one with the Father (John 10:30; 14:9), being the bread of life (John 6:35), water of life (John 4:14), being the gift of God (John 4:10), being the Good Shepherd etc. But there is one profound truth Jesus testified himself to be - I AM.
Jesus said that he is the I AM. I AM is God's memorial name, the self existent one, Yahweh or Jehovah. Jesus said He was their covenant God by saying He is I AM. They couldn't take his testimony so he told them "*Though I bear record of my self, yet my record is true for I know when e I came, and whither I go but yeah cannot tell whenever I come and whither I go (John 8:14)

Jesus Christ made quite a number of things that looked impossible possible. His ministry on the earth can be found in the scriptures. We want to read it for our own benefits.

“And the dragon was wroth with woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Rev. 12:17. Satan is only after those who have the same testimony that Jesus had because they are the only ones who are a real threat to his kingdom.
