Go Tell

Jesus. Our Savior, Redeemer, Deliver, Healer, Prince of Peace...

I am sure you can think of a time when Jesus became each of the above to you. In every situation, and in every time of need, he has been faithful. Sometimes we see it in the miraculous, and sometimes we see it in the subtleties.

One dramatic record of deliverance is found in Luke 6:26-39 where Jesus comes across a naked, demon possessed man. In a word, Legion came out and entered the pigs and they rushed down a steep bank and fell into the lake where they drowned. With his nakedness now clothed, he sat at Jesus feet.

When Jesus brings healing and deliverance into our lives, our grateful hearts just want to continue to sit at his feet. We want to travel with Jesus. We want to stay by his side. But we can't. It's not his plan. It wasn't his purpose.

In verse 30 Jesus says, "Return home and tell how much God has done for you." God has done great things in our lives for the purpose of spreading the gospel and sharing our testimonies.

God has not told us to be silent, but to open our mouths. One of the greatest ways we can be most effective is tell everyone we can what he has done in our lives. "Go ye into the world..." is right here in our very own communities. We just have to step outside our doors to meet our neighbor in need next door. Share with the person in line at the grocery store, share with the soccer mom that stands next to you, and share with a friend over coffee.

Share with anyone who will listen. But do go tell!
