Happy Good Friday everyone!
Today Jesus’ words to the man who had been demon-possessed really struck me.
Go home to your own people, and report to them how much the Lord has done for you and how he has had mercy on you. (Mark 5:19)
Sometimes we wonder how to share the gospel with people. Often times the best way is to do what Jesus told this man to do. Tell others what the Lord has done for you and how he has had mercy on you.
So on this Good Friday, think about that. What has the Lord done for you, not just on that Friday 2000 years ago, but from the time you first met him? And in what ways has he had mercy on you?
Then practice sharing your testimony by telling it to your family and friends who are Christians. It will definitely be an encouragement to them. Be especially sure to share your story with your children if they haven’t heard it yet.
And then pray for opportunities to share your testimony with those around you who don’t know him. There are so many people now who need to hear words of hope.
But most of all, take time to thank God today for all he has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.
