“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 5:20
The newly freed man wanted to follow Jesus. But Jesus 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” (v. 19). The one who was rescued will now be an instrument in the rescue of others! This newly freed, healed, whole man went home and told. And everywhere he went, people were astonished and were saved!

Are you rescued? Then share the gospel by telling the old, old story of Jesus and His love. Since the gospel “is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes” (Romans 1:16), you’ll be sharing the power for salvation.

To whom should you go and share? Start at home with your family, neighbors, and friends. Watch the pigs and demons run and drown, so to speak.

If you’ve not been rescued, I invite you to come to the One who made you, loves you, and gave His life for you. Tell Jesus you want Him at the center, that you want Him to drive away all that separates you from Him. Call on His name, and you will be changed! Because, after all, Jesus is amazing!
