What is perhaps most beautiful about this passage of scripture is the lengths that Jesus went to in order to search for this particular man, cross the sea, going to a place others would rather not go, to a man who had been cut off from society.
But it leads me to ask, as followers of Jesus Christ if we are willing to do the same.
Are we willing to go to uncomfortable places in order to be bearers of Christ's light in the world?
As I was preparing for this weeks sermon I was struck by the following thought - are there any people that I would rather not bring Christ's Good News to? It's a vulnerable question, but a powerful one. Who are the people that I don't want to tell about Jesus's love and forgiveness?
If folks as a group or individuals come to your mind as you reflect on that question, I would invite you to pray for them, and ask God to speak to your heart as well.
