What is your reaction when you meet someone of high importance? How have you reacted when you have met a CEO, president, actor, sports figure, or newscaster? Have you been in awe? Have you told others about your meeting? How will you react when you meet Jesus?
Meeting people of high importance can cause us to be in awe of them. We only see them from a distance or on television. Being close to them, perhaps even shaking their hand and having a conversation, is exciting. We like to tell others about our encounter with them.
Meeting famous or important people also can give us a sense of importance ourselves. We may think we connected with them, and they will remember us. Unfortunately, most of them will not remember us. They meet so many people as they tour the country or world that they cannot remember everyone they meet.
There is One who will remember us. In fact, He does remember us every day. He intercedes for us every day. Will we fall down at His feet? The man who had been tormented by demons did. When Jesus expelled His demons, the man worried that Jesus would torment him as well. Jesus had no such idea in mind. Instead, Jesus sent him home and told him to declare what God had done for him.
We should do the same. Each of us has our own issues. As Jesus removes them from us, we should declare what God has done for us. It is our declaration that we tell others about Jesus. This is how we spread the gospel. This is how we convince others to come to Him and be made whole. It is doing the work of God on earth.
I pray we all bow to Jesus. I pray we know that He remembers us every day. I pray each one of us will tell others what God has done for us, spreading the gospel, and bringing others to Jesus. Bow to Jesus. Know that He remembers you. Tell others what He has done for you. Spread the gospel.
Luke 8:28-29a When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, shouting, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, do not torment me,” for Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man.
