“GO & TELL”

 

Everyone that has trusted Christ as their Lord and Savior understands the consequences of not trusting Him as Lord and Savior! The consequences are eternity in a literal lake of fire with no hope of ever getting out. There is no greater consequence for anything that anyone could ever face. With this in mind, we must remember, as Christians, we are commanded to go and tell!

 

The Bible gives us several examples of brand-new converts immediately sharing what Christ had done for them. They wasted no time to “Go and Tell!” The woman at the well was met by Christ, He told her everything she had ever done and told her all about living water that she could have. She trusted Him as Savior and the Bible says in John 4:28, 29 “28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?”

 

Jesus delivered the maniac of Gadara who was possessed with demons. This fella had been deemed hopeless; He could not be reformed and people avoided him like the plague. He made his dwelling place among the tombs on a hillside. Christ came into his life and delivered him. He then gave him a command to “Go and Tell” and guess what? He did! This man witnessed in Decapolis, this area was made up of ten cities/towns and he hit them all! Mark 5:19, 20— “19 Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee. 20 And he departed, and began to publish in Decapolis how great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.”

 

These two stories show us that we have no excuse to not go and tell. These two converts were newborn baby Christians and went directly from Christ and began sharing what He had done for them. That is all we are commanded to do. If the devil can convince you that you are not qualified or that you do not know enough about the Bible, just remember what He did for you, and share that with others. Don’t wait another day! Go and tell your family, friends, and everyone else how Christ has saved you!
