Chapter 5
Witnessing
Have you ever thought of witnessing not in terms of salesmanship or persuasion, but as . . . matchmaking? At its very heart, witnessing is the process and privilege of introducing the Bridegroom (Jesus) to prospective brides (nonbelievers). After all, Jesus truly is the Lover of souls, wooing His chosen beloved into permanent surrender with His self-sacrifice and unfailing love. If we ignore the wooing and try to force a union, we may miss this very heart of the new life in and with Jesus Christ. (Adapted from Judy Gomoll, “Matchmaker! Matchmaker!” Discipleship Journal, issue 57, 28.)
