Pigs Gone Wild

From Calm To Chaos

We all hear, and probably tell, a lot more bad news than good. We lament that all of the "TV and newspaper news" is bad, but what about the news that we tell? Sometimes we tell more bad news than we realize.
In Mark 5 there is an account of a man who had multiple demons that the Lord cast out of him and into some pigs that then ran into the sea. No doubt, if that had happened today the headline would have been "Pigs Gone Wild" instead of "Man Healed By Jesus".
The man who had been healed wanted to stay with Jesus, but He would not allow him to do so. Instead, He told him, "Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He has had compassion on you.”(Mark 5:19). Have you told a friend about Jesus lately? The next verse says, "And he departed and began to proclaim in Decapolis all that Jesus had done for him; and all marveled."
Although the miraculous healing of diseases passed with the apostles and those that they layed hands upon, Jesus still saves! You can come to him through faith(John 8:24), repentance(Ac. 2:38), confession(Rom. 10:10), and baptism(Mark 16:16). That's the good news for today, and every day!
Have you told any "Good News" lately?
