Court is in Session

 The Court Is in Session: Will You Testify?

Imagine a massive courtroom—not in any earthly city, but in the heavens. Thrones are set in place. Books are opened. The Ancient of Days takes His seat. This is no dream. It's real. Daniel saw it in a vision (Daniel 7:9–10). John saw it too—scrolls, elders, angels, worship, and the Lamb who was worthy to open the seals (Revelation 4–5). Even in Job 1, we see a glimpse of this heavenly courtroom, where the accuser, Satan, presents his case.

Satan is still accusing. He attacks God’s character and questions the faithfulness of God’s people. Revelation 12:10 calls him the “accuser of our brothers and sisters.” In Malachi 3:13, the people even complain against God, asking, “What’s the point of serving Him?” Psalm 73 shows the inner battle of one who almost gave up, seeing the wicked thrive while the righteous suffer.

But God doesn't argue. He doesn’t panic. He calls witnesses.

“You are My witnesses,” He says in Isaiah 43:10. Jesus echoes this in Acts 1:8: “You will receive power... and you will be my witnesses.” Not just with words, but with lives set on fire. With works that shine. In John 5:36, Jesus said, “The works I do testify of Me.” And through the Holy Spirit, our very lives testify too (Romans 8:16).

In dark times, light shines brighter. Isaiah 60 says, “Arise, shine, for your light has come... Nations will come to your light.” Philippians 2:15 says we “shine like stars,” holding out the Word of life. And 1 Peter 3:15 reminds us to always be ready to give a reason for the hope we have.

Church Father Augustine said, “History is God’s courtroom; human events testify to His justice and mercy.” Tertullian wrote that Christians are witnesses who defend God's truth before a hostile world.

The trial is happening now.

Will you rise as a witness of Jesus — not just in word, but in power, love, and truth? Let your life be the evidence. Let your voice be heard in heaven’s court. The world is watching. Heaven is listening. The court is in session. Will you testify?
