I see nothing, I know nothing

Reading:
Acts 3.12-19 - Psalm 4 - 1 John 3.1-7 - Luke 24.36b-48
“I see nothing!” “I know nothing!” Ah, the immortal words of Sgt. Schultz, the bumbling prison guard in the 1960s television comedy Hogan’s Heroes. Schultz usually uttered these words after stumbling upon Col. Hogan and other inmates at the German WWII POW camp committing some act of espionage or sabotage. Sgt. Schultz did not want to be a witness to any of the shenanigans of the inmates. Schultz knew that he was a witness, he would have to file a report and that would entail far more work and effort than he wanted to put forth.
To be a witness is an important concept in the Bible. A witness is a person who knows the truth and can testify to the truth, declaring what has been seen and heard. The Jewish law of multiple witnesses was important throughout biblical times. While the Bible speaks of the importance of witnesses for juridical proceedings, the most important act of witnessing is to be God’s witness to the world. Witnesses are so important that God has been known to declare the mountains and rocks witnesses if no humans were available for that honor. According to the Bible, if you are a witness, you have a duty to share your truth.
