You are witnesses of these things. Luke 24:48 

The “things” that the disciples witnessed are Jesus’ life and ministry, death and resurrection. They have witnessed how Jesus came to bring wholeness and healing to humanity, sharing in their wounds and bringing life. They have witnessed how he took up his cross, suffering and dying for the sake of the world. And they have witnessed how he rose again from the dead to make life the final word for us all. 

Even in our own time, we are witnesses of Jesus. We see where humanity is scarred by abuse, injustice and oppression. We see how illness and death inflict our lives and the lives of our loved ones. We see our creation groaning under the strains of what we have done or failed to do. And we see all of humanity caught in the silence and condemnation of it all. Witnessing means we do not stand on the sidelines while this is happening. We witness to the truth of Jesus. We bring his life and promise to bear, sharing in the scars of our world, trusting in the witness of our risen Lord that we, too, shall be raised to life with him.
