How Do I Share My Story With Others?

Jun 1, 2025    Rev. Baly Botten

In Mark 5:1-20, we encounter a powerful story of transformation and witness. Jesus crosses boundaries, both physical and spiritual, to meet a man possessed by demons. This narrative challenges us to consider how we approach those society deems 'unclean' or beyond help. The dramatic healing showcases God's power over darkness and His desire to restore the broken. Intriguingly, Jesus doesn't allow the healed man to follow Him, but instead commissions him to share his story of God's mercy. This reminds us that our testimonies, however messy or imperfect, can be powerful tools for spreading the Gospel. We're called not just to experience God's transforming power, but to boldly share how His mercy has intersected our lives. In a world hungry for authenticity, our honest witness to God's work in us can cause others to marvel, opening doors for the Holy Spirit to move.
