📖 Wisdom Wednesday — Tell What Jesus Has Done

Have you ever thought:

“I'd talk about Jesus more if I just knew more?”

In Mark 5, Jesus completely transforms the life of a man who had been living among the tombs under terrible demonic oppression.

By verse 15, the man who had been tormented is:

“sitting down, clothed and in his right mind.”

Jesus had changed everything.

But here's what amazes me.

This man hadn't studied theology.

He hadn't spent years following Jesus.

He had known Jesus for...well, maybe Five More Minutes! :-)

And when he asks to go with Jesus, Jesus gives him another assignment:

“Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you.” — Mark 5:19

Jesus didn't tell him to go explain everything.

He told him to go tell what God had done for him.

💭 Today's Truth

You don't have to know everything about Jesus to tell somebody what Jesus has done for you.

And that's incredibly freeing.

What if somebody asks you a question you can't answer?

It's okay to say: “I don't know the answer to that. But I can tell you what Jesus has done for me.”

Psalm 66:16 says:

“Come and hear, all who fear God,

And I will tell of what He has done for my soul.”

Your testimony doesn't have to be dramatic.

It doesn't have to impress anybody.

Because you're not the hero of your testimony. Jesus is.

If He has saved you, forgiven you, carried you, given you hope, shown you mercy...

you have something to tell.

🙏 Today's Prayer

Lord Jesus, thank You for what You have done in my life. Thank You for Your mercy, Your grace, and the salvation You have given me. Help me never believe that I need to know everything before I can tell someone about You. Give me an opportunity to share what You have done for me, and help me keep the focus of my story on You. In Jesus' name, Amen.

So here's today's question:

What has Jesus done for me that I could tell somebody else?

Ask God for an opportunity! And tell YOUR story of Jesus!
