A Collect to Testify of Jesus with Boldness

Lord Jesus, ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead, you have given us the authority and the mandate to be witnesses to you and what you have done for us and in the world. Give us also the words and courage necessary to speak, that we might testify with confidence to the world, preaching of your love and power when the Spirit gives the opportunity, through you who reigns with the Father and Spirit on high. Amen. ‘He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead.’ – Acts 10:42
