Go, Tell!

Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying, Return to thine house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him. -Luke 8:38-39

Go! Show what great things God has done for you! Go! Tell what great things God has done for you! In this broken sin-filled world, the world needs to know what He's personally done for you. Ain't He brought you a long way? Go tell. Ain't He been good? Go tell. Ain't He still God? Go tell.

How did the blind man know Jesus was coming? How did the woman with the issue of blood know Jesus was coming? How did so many that were healed, forgiven, and saved know Jesus was coming? They were told. Somebody told them Jesus was on the way. No doubt, those that Jesus touched went and told what the Lord had done for them. How about you? Go tell.

"Ever since Jesus saved and pardoned, I have been singing everyday. I've never been sorry that I trusted His holy name." Hey, I've never been sorry that I got saved. I've never been sorry that I gave up a life of sin. I've never been sorry that I trusted Him! Amen.

The children of Israel were in bondage for over 400 years and God said, "I've seen the affliction of my people, I've heard their cry, and I know their sorrows." And God sent in a man named Moses to tell Pharaoh to let them go. The mighty hand of God miraculously moved in a series of fearful and dreadful plagues set upon Egypt. Each plague was a direct insult to one of the Egyptian gods. Egyptians worshipped the Nile river, God turned it to blood. They worshipped the sun and moon, God snuffed them out. They worshipped frogs, God gave them so many frogs that they got sick of them. Each one of those plagues could have been duplicated by Pharaoh's magicians, but there was one plague that they could not duplicate. That last plague, God instructed His people to slaughter a lamb and put the blood around the door. God would come through the city and kill the first born, but if He saw the blood, He would pass by. The devil can duplicate places and feelings, but there's something about that blood of the Lamb. And it worked! Pharaoh let the children of Israel go, but he pursued them all the way to the Red Sea where they couldn't go any further. But, God made a way and parted the Red Sea so that they crossed over on dry land. Pharaoh tried to follow, but they drowned as God let the waters swallow the mighty Egyptian army. Amen. Ain't He been good?

Some 40 years later, Israel is about to take the city of Jericho. There is a woman there by the name of Rahab the harlot. Rahab told the two spies how she has heard of Israel and how she has heard about the Lord and all that God has done for them. Someone told her! News got around slow in those days, but she had heard!

God's been so good to me! I just want to tell the world that He's still God and He's still in control! How about you? Go tell!

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in
heaven.- Matthew 5:14-16
