Verse 11 Our means and method (and price)

This is #8 on the google list and #49 on the biblegateway.com list and is highlighted in the 'Hands On' Bible.

Acts 1:8
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Luke 24:48
You are witnesses of these things.

John 15:27
And you also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.

The instruction of being an witness is at the heart of the whole of the book of Acts. Also these are Jesus' last words before His ascension. They give a person, power and pattern to the witness. 'My witnesses' says it is to be of Jesus and not of themselves, as Paul would write,

1 Corinthians 2:2
For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.

The power behind this is to be by the Holy Spirit, who

John 16:13-14
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. 14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you.

And also when you consider that our word martyr, comes from the Greek word for witness, martus. With the exception of John, who admittedly survived being boiled in oil, it meant just that for each of them. His strength was needed, as it is in some countries in the world today, and you can read about them on the Voice of the Martyrs website. But for us where the worst we will get is rejection and ridicule, we have no excuse to refuse his instruction and guidance.
The pattern is at home first, the surrounding area and then beyond. There are many ways we can do it. I usually conclude with a verse but I've given them all through this and I think the lyrics of this song are apt, I believe it is by Wayne Watson.

CHORUS
We work the field of souls
Together you and I
Some fields are blooming now
Other fields are dry
We are not the same
But differences aside
We will work the filed of souls
Together you and I

One is off to foreign soil
To work a distant land
Another anchors close to home
To hold a neighbor's hand
Who has served the Father most
And who has labored best
That life devoted to our God
That devotion will be blessed

One shouts the gospel in the streets
For everyone to hear
He's bold to everyone he meets
The Word is loud and clear
Another cries alone and prays
In silence on her knees
Before the throne day after day
Where human eyes don't see
