John 9:25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. The first qualification, then, of a faithful witness is a personal knowledge of the facts to which he witnesses. If a witness in a court of justice begins to talk of what he thinks, feels, and believes, "Oh! hush, hush," says the judge, "we can't have that; we want to know what you know — what you have seen, heard, and felt of this case;" and these are the sort of witnesses Jesus Christ wants, who get up and say, "I know!" That is what the Lord Jesus Christ wants — people who know, who experience, who realize, who live the things they witness to. This is what the world is dying for — people who can get up and say, "I know."
