Jehovah’s Witnesses
Isa 43:1-13
The magnificent conception of Isa 43:1-28 underlies this. We have still the convocation of mankind, summoned to decide whether Jehovah or some idol god shall be recognized as the supreme deity. In the arena are rows of helpless images rich in paint and tinsel, but mute and helpless, Isa 43:8-9. Jehovah, to vindicate His claims, calls into the witness box His Chosen People, that they may tell what they have known, tasted, and handled, of the Word of life, Isa 43:10.
This special function is not confined to the Hebrew race. By the express words of our Lord it is shared by the Church. See Act 1:8. As our Lord bore witness to truth, His subjects are summoned to do the same. See 1Ti 6:13-14; Rev 1:5.
Let us witness to the love that never tires. “Fear not, thou art mine.” Let us witness to a purpose that never falters, Isa 43:1 and Isa 43:7. Let us witness to a deliverance that never disappoints. We are not saved from fire and water, but are delivered in the midst of them by the never-failing presence of our King. Let us ask for the Spirit of Truth to witness with us, Act 5:31-32.
