The first place to show your Christian witness, is at
home. Who says so? Jesus says so!
Mark 5:1-20, the story is told of the demon
possessed man of Gergesa. Jesus set him free, and he returned to his
right mind.
When Jesus and His disciples were about to leave, the
man made this plea...
Mark
5:18-20 NLT
18
As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon
possessed begged to go with Him.
19
But Jesus said, “No, go home to your family, and tell them
everything The Lord has done for you and how merciful He has been.”
20
So the man started off to visit the Ten Towns of that region and
began to proclaim the great things Jesus had done for him; and
everyone was amazed at what he told them.
On
City Streets, Where People Meet:
Acts
17:16,17 NLT (Paul Preaches in Athens)
16
While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, he was deeply troubled by
all the idols he saw everywhere in the city.
17
"...and he spoke daily in the public square to all who happened
to be there.
On
The Walk Ways, And By Ways Of Your City.
Luke
24:13-34 NLT (The Walk to
Emmaus)
13
That same day two of Jesus’ followers were walking to the
village of Emmaus, seven miles from Jerusalem.
14
As they walked along they were talking about everything that had
happened.
15
As they talked and discussed these things, Jesus Himself suddenly
came and began walking with them.
16
But God kept them from recognizing Him.
17
He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk
along?” They stopped short, sadness written across their faces.
18
Then one of them, Cleopas, replied, “You must be the only person in
Jerusalem who hasn’t heard about all the things that have happened
there the last few days.”
19
“What things?” Jesus asked. “The things that happened to Jesus,
The Man From Nazareth,” they said. “He was A Prophet who did
powerful miracles, and He was A Mighty Teacher in the eyes of God and
all the people.
20
But our leading priests and other religious leaders handed Him over
to be condemned to death, and they crucified Him.
21
We had hoped He was The Messiah who had come to rescue Israel. This
all happened three days ago.
22
“Then some women from our group of His followers were at His tomb
early this morning, and they came back with an amazing report.
23
They said His body was missing, and they had seen angels who told
them Jesus is alive!
24
Some of our men ran out to see, and sure enough, His body was gone,
just as the women had said.”
25
Then Jesus said to them, “You foolish people! You find it so hard
to believe all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures.
26
Wasn’t it clearly predicted that The Messiah would have to suffer
all these things before entering His glory?”
27
Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the
prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning
Himself.
28
By this time they were nearing Emmaus and the end of their journey.
Jesus acted as if He were going on,
29
but they begged Him, “Stay the night with us, since it is getting
late.” So He went home with them.
30
As they sat down to eat, He took the bread and blessed it. Then He
broke it and gave it to them.
31
Suddenly, their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him. And at
that moment He disappeared!
32
They said to each other, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us as He
talked with us on the road and explained the Scriptures to us?”
33
And within the hour they were on their way back to Jerusalem. There
they found the eleven disciples and the others who had gathered with
them,
34
who said, “The Lord has really risen! He appeared to Peter.”
35
Then the two from Emmaus told their story of how Jesus had appeared
to them as they were walking along the road, and how they had
recognized Him as He was breaking the bread.
In
The Shops And Stores Of Your City:
Mark 2:13,14 NLT (Jesus Calls Levi (Matthew))
13
Then Jesus went out to the lakeshore again and taught the crowds that
were coming to Him.
14
As He walked along, He saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at his tax
collector’s booth. “Follow Me and be My disciple,” Jesus said
to him. So Levi got up and followed Him.
