Telling others about the Saviour - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2024

Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.
Luke 8:39

Telling others about the Saviour
In Gadara, the Saviour met a man who was possessed by many evil spirits. With divine power He freed this man from Satan’s slavery. Before Jesus Christ left the area again, He instructed this redeemed man, “Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you.”

Doesn’t this instruction of the Lord apply to all whom He has redeemed from the power of the devil and saved from eternal death? Isn’t the grace experienced reason enough for everyone who knows Jesus Christ as personal Saviour to introduce others to the saving love of God?

The Lord determines the place where we are to testify of Him: it starts at home! There, contacts with fellow human beings provide good opportunities to tell about our Saviour. There, where people know us, the positive change in our lives can underline the message of grace.

The Lord Jesus also indicates what we should say how much God has done for us! He does not ask us to preach great sermons. It is enough if we simply tell how we have experienced the forgiveness of our sins and salvation from divine punishment.

To spur us on, the Bible tells us how the man from Gadara fulfilled the Lord’s command: “And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.”

Today’s reading: Ezekiel 9:1-11 · Psalms 118:15-29
