Growth Through Witnessing By N Speer Jones
The lesson presents two examples of men sent by Christ to witness. In Luke set in Peraea on December 29 A D, Christ names 70 to go two by two with power to heal and declare the kingdom near. It notes cities that rejected Him and contrasts judgment with Tyre and Sidon. The Acts record shows Peter and John healing a lame man and facing mild persecution before the Sanhedrin.
