Tell Everything

So Jesus returned to the boat and left, crossing back to the other side of the lake. 38 The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him. But Jesus sent him home, saying, 39 “No, go back to your family, and tell them everything God has done for you.” So he went all through the town proclaiming the great things Jesus had done for him. (Luke 8:37-39 NLT)

Jesus usually told people not to talk about His miracles to help them. Why not this time? Because Jesus was in a Gentile region. The people did not have false expectations about the Promised Savior. They did not have any expectations. So the Gentiles needed to hear about Jesus to know what He had done for the man who had previously been demon possessed. Reports from the early Christian Church tells us that this region called the Decapolis or Ten Cities was very receptive to the Christian faith.

We are living in a time when fewer people know about Jesus. They need to hear so that can know who Jesus is, what He has done and what He wants to do for them. Tell everyone because whether they know it or not, everyone needs Jesus.

    My name is Larry. Right now I am serving as the Intentional Interim or Transitional Pastor at St. Michael's Lutheran Church, Richville, MI. This blog is part of my daily personal time reading the Bible and talking with God. It is more of my personal thoughts than a deep theological discussion. Thanks for taking the time to join me in reading and thinking about what God has to say to us today.
