In Mark chapter 5, Jesus healed a demon possessed man. After healing him and people seeing him in his right mind, they grew afraid and asked Jesus to leave. They wasn’t afraid because Jesus performed a miracle; they were afraid because they thought that they would suffer financial losses if Jesus stayed around. They didn’t realize his presence would have brought more blessings and healings in their city. Nevertheless, Jesus left.
Many people today don’t want anyone to know they are a Christian, because they feel like they have to defend Jesus. Truth be told, Jesus can defend himself. The life you live is the defense for Jesus. People that knew you way back when and see you now, ought to know Jesus is real. People I used to run with, fight with and drink with, see me now and say; who would have thought. That’s enough evidence to show that Jesus is real.
This is how you know that you shouldn’t send Jesus away. If people can curse in the office all day long, don’t send Jesus away. If people can kill other people for fun, don’t send Jesus away. If people can cut an unborn baby out of a mother’s womb, don’t send Jesus away. If our American cities can turn into war zones, don’t send Jesus away. When our young kills are killing other kids to be in a gang, don’t send Jesus away. When it seems like we are funeralizing a black man every month in a different state; for dying at the hands of a police officer, don’t send Jesus away. We need to be saying to Jesus; I need thee, oh I need thee. Every second, every minute, every hour, I need thee. Oh! Bless me know my Savior, I come to thee.
Be blessed and continue to be a blessing.
