Our Scripture reading today is Mark 5:19-20.
Verse 20, "And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel."
The man who had once been possessed with a devil was now being an ambassador for the
LORD Jesus. An indication that someone is truly saved will always be obedience. This man
was told what to do in verse nineteen and in verse twenty we read of him following the
command. As we heard on Sunday, "Obedience is the very best way to show that you believe".
“He was told to publish what great things the Lord had done for him. He went and published what great things Jesus had done for him. Did he make any mistake? Oh, no! It is but another name for the same Person: for Jesus is the Lord; and when you speak of him as divine, and talk of him in terms fit only for God, you do but speak rightly; for so he deserveth to be praised.” (Spurgeon)
If you are a born again Christian, you have a responsibility to go and tell others what
God has done for you. Now is the time to be a faithful witness for the glory of God!
