Go Home

 Job 2l; Mark 5-6 

“As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. Jesus did not let him, but said, ‘Go home to your family and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.’ So, the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed.”

Mark 5:18-20

Our most powerful personal witness is the evidence of the transforming grace and mercy of God in our lives. The man Jesus set free from a legion of demons had a dramatic ‘before-and-after’ testimony. No one could argue with this living example of God’s saving power. However, everyone who has experienced the gospel and not just given mental assent to it, has a visible testimony of God’s love, mercy, peace, and power in their lives.

Have we experienced the gospel, and are our family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers able to see the change in our lives?

Our first mission must be to our home community.

Are we telling our community how much the Lord has done for us?

“Lord Jesus, your transformation of my life is my clearest evidence for the gospel, for your glory.”
