Monday – Gospels
Reading – Mark 5
Highlight Verse:
“So the man started off to visit the Ten Towns of that region and began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and everyone was amazed at what he told them.”
Mark 5:20 NLT
In case you didn’t read the first part, this man was just restored after being possessed by at least 2000 demons.
He’s not the kind of guy that people wanted to model their lives after.
If I had done the kinds of things this guy had done and then been freed from the demons, I’d probably want to hide in shame – maybe become a monk or something like that.
He didn’t do that.
In his joy and excitement over being freed, he told as many people as he could about Jesus.
And because of his past, they believed!
I guarantee that your past is not as bad as this guy’s. God can use your past too.
What would happen if you shared freely about your past and what Jesus has done to free you from it?
Is there anything keeping you from sharing it?
