(Audio book version here )
In olden times, specifically during the time of Abraham, a person was made to promise with his hand under the thigh, that is the testicles, of his master. (Genesis 24:2-9) Abraham's testicles were the sign of God's promise of descendants as many as the stars in heaven. (Genesis 15:5)
The words testicles and testimony share the same root word: testis. No wonder we have an English expression for a man who could not keep his promise: “he has no balls.”
A person who TESTIfies does not only offer facts for evidence; he offers HIMSELF as the body of evidence.
When we testify for Christ we don't only preach in words; we present ourselves as evidence of His love and healing. We are the evidence.
We praise you for your promises.
Help us to keep our promises
And make us genuine witnesses of your Son,
Jesus Christ.
Amen…
