To be glad instruments of God's love in this imperfect world is the service to which man is called. -Schweitzer
Mark 5:18-19, And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.
As we walk in this world of sin, God has commanded us to be salt and light in an untasteful dark world! Jesus had healed the maniac of Gadara. The sane man, now dress and in his right mind, wants to go with Jesus. Jesus tells Him, go home, tell your friends of the great things the Lord has done for him and of His great compassion. Why; because Jesus knew they needed to hear as well!
Church, yes, we need to GET UP, GET READY, and GO TO CHURCH this morning, but we also need to get the Message of Jesus outside of the Church House! We cannot only come to church never getting out and sharing the Hope of the Good News. We must be that salt and light Jesus desires us to be by sharing the great things He has done for us and His great compassion He has had on us! GET UP AND GO TELL!
