Luke 24:48

Ye are witnesses. Christ’s disciples had been with Him for a number of years, they knew what He taught and how He labored, and now they were eyewitnesses of the truth of the resurrection (see on v. 39). They could tell others what they had seen and heard (see 2 Peter 1:16-18; 1 John 1:1, 2). They never hesitated to affirm that they were “witnesses” of Christ (see Acts 2:32; 3:15; 5:32; 10:39, 41; etc.). They had a great story to tell and they never tired of telling it. It is our privilege today, as believers in a risen Saviour, to bear witness of the things we have seen and heard of the way of salvation in Christ Jesus (see 2 Tim. 2:2; cf. 2 Cor. 5:18-20).
