“Ye shall receive power... and ye shall be witnesses unto Me.” (Acts 1:8).
A witness for God is the most uncompromising man on the face of the earth. He never adapts his testimony to altered circumstances. General unfaithfulness only nerves him—braces him up to a more complete surrender to his Master’s interests. No surrender of the truth is ever thought of. He may die, death alone being the check to the course and testimony of the witness, but he will never sacrifice one iota of his testimony. He is a man who counts not his life dear to him if he may but finish his course with joy.
