This is the last of the series, “I Speak Jesus” based on the book of Luke. The focus of the entire book is all about Jesus. Last week, we saw where Jesus was crucified, buried and raised from the dead.
In the last chapter of Luke, Jesus appears to those closest to him. Of course, they were stunned and terrified! Jesus spent time with them to help them believe and understand what they were seeing. Then he told them in Luke 24:46-49, “This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance for the forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.”
This is exactly what he wants of us today!
Do you remember the story of the demon possessed man in Mark 5? He was in a terrible state and Jesus healed him! He was so grateful for the huge change in his life, that he wanted to go with Jesus. But Jesus told him to go home and his family and to “tell what the Lord had done for him.” Jesus knew what a powerful story it would be for the man to tell of his experience and encounter with him!
The best thing we can do is to share our journey with Jesus. Listen to the song, “I Speak Jesus.” Let his power and healing flow through your life and let his love flow through you to others. We just need to let our lives “Speak Jesus!”
Thought Question:
What is one way that you can “tell what the Lord has done for you” this week? Remember, your actions can speak as well as words!
