“He Went…”

“He Went…”

Blessings folk!

The man set free from demons wanted to accompany Jesus.
Jesus forbade him.
Rather, Jesus told him to…
  • go home to your people.
  • report to them the great things the Lord has done for you.
  • report to them how the Lord had mercy upon you.

What did the man do?
Express disappointment?
Refuse and followed Jesus always?

Mar 5:18-20
As He was getting into the boat,
the man who had been demon-possessed was imploring Him that he might accompany Him.

And He did not let him, but He *said to him, “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.”

And he went away and began to proclaim in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed.

Imagine.
He did what Jesus told him to do.
He went to his people.
He proclaimed in Decapolis (a ten-city region) what (every) great thing Jesus had done for him.

Again, a bold proclamation of what the Lord had done for him personally.
A personal story.

The response of the people who heard?
They were amazed.

Oh that we would do likewise.
Tell of the things the Lord has done.
Tell of the things the Lord is doing.
Tell of the things yet to come.
