He Has Done Great Things

ALL – Psalm 70:1-5
ALL – Proverbs 12:4
OT – Deuteronomy 11:1-12:32
NT – Luke 8:22-39

Testimonies. What are they about? How awful we used to be? How great we are now?

I don’t think so. I hope that’s not what people get from our testimonies. “Look at that guy! He used to be a total jerk, but now he’s awesome! Don’t you want to be like him?” If that’s all that comes out of our testimonies, then almost nothing has been gained.

When Jesus drove legions of demons out of one particular man, the man wanted to follow Jesus instead of going back to his home town. But Jesus gave him an assignment:

“Go back to your family,” he told him, “and tell them what a wonderful thing God has done for you.” – Luke 8:39, The Living Bible

Point to God! Point to God! Point to God! What a wonderful assignment!

How often do we spend our time mumbling about how life’s doing when we could be telling people the wonders of God? Jesus left us here for a reason, just like the man he delivered way back then. Are we taking His assignment seriously?
