Fw: They came to Him

Mark 3:Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the sea, and a great crowd followed, from Galilee and Judea and Jerusalem and Idumea and from beyond the Jordan and from around Tyre and Sidon. When the great crowd heard all that he was doing, they came to him.
-
Acts 1:But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
-
As believers...those who have experienced the saving love of Jesus...we are called and empowered to be His witnesses to the world, near and far.  As I was reading in the Gospel of Mark this morning it struck me how the world came to Jesus when He was here.  The power He demonstrated in people's lives to heal, liberate from evil spirits and speak truth, drew crowds.  Even as Jesus sought to draw away from the people with His disciples, they came after Him.  It occurred to me that as we go to take Jesus to the world He will draw others to Himself as we allow Him to be the one who speaks and the one who touches others...through us.  
-
It's not so much that we have a message as we have His life within...the life that the world truly longs to find.
-
blessings!
