Go and Tell

I like to brag on those that I love.  I like to tell folks about my kids, my wife, and my family.

I like to tell folks about my church and what God is doing at Asbury Church.

I like to talk about good experiences I have at difference places.  I like to go and tell others about the things of that I’ve experienced that have brought me joy or happiness or was just a good experience.

I like to go and tell others about the good things that I’ve seen in my life.

Namely, Jesus.  He is the best thing I’ve experienced and the best thing that I’ll ever experience. And, I want to tell others about Him.  Listen to what happens today in Mark 5:

As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon possessed begged to go with him. But Jesus said, “No, go home to your family, and tell them everything the Lord has done for you and how merciful he has been.” So the man started off to visit the Ten Towns of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed at what he told them.

Jesus had healed this man of many issues. He had made Him whole.  He had changed this man’s life forever.  And this man wanted to follow Jesus.  He wanted to get on the boat and follow Jesus.

Jesus said – this is how you will follow me.  Go and tell.  Go and tell others about me. Go and tell others about what I’ve done.  Go and tell others about what change has come to pass in your life.

Go and tell.

Sometimes to go and tell others means you have to go far away. Sometimes it means you have to you have to stay in your own family. Whatever it looks like, each of us are called to go and tell.

Go and tell what Jesus has done for us. Go and tell about His salvation and His hope.  Go and tell about His life. Go and tell.

Go and brag on Jesus like you do your family. Or your favorite restaurant. Or your favorite pair of shoes. Or your favorite hunting spot. Go and tell. Go and tell others what He has done in your life.

Go and show His mercy in your life.

Go and brag on what He’s doing in your life.

Go. Go and tell.
