SCRIPTURE: John (NIV) 12:12 The next day the great crowd that had come for the Feast heard that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem….
17 Now the crowd that was with him when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to spread the word. 18 Many people, because they had heard that he had given this miraculous sign, went out to meet him.
OBSERVATION: Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead. Lazarus had been dead for four days! It was a notable miracle. The people who had witnessed the miracle could not, or would not stop talking about it! The more they spoke about it, the more people wanted to come and see Jesus for themselves.
APPLICATION: There is no better advertising than word of mouth; people telling people what Jesus has done for them. Such testimony carries more than the truth, it also carries the conviction that comes with personal involvement! “This is what happened to me!” or “I was there when this happened!”
Through the SOAP ministry, and what God has done in another community, a second community heard and requested the SOAPs and thousands have accepted Jesus, and then a third community heard and also requested the SOAPs and many accepted Jesus, and a fourth…and a fifth…and now another larger town has asked questions about the SOAPs.
What has Jesus done for you? Who have you told?
PRAYER: Holy Spirit, may the joy you have caused to fill my heart spill out of my mouth an may others hear of what you have done for me! Amen
