Luke 8:22-56
‘Where
is your faith?’(25). The Lord is not looking for lip-service. He is
looking for real faith. Some beg Jesus ‘to depart from them’(37). They
don't want to know! Others long to ‘be with Him’(38). They don’t want to
go! Some have no interest in worship. They don’t really want to get to
know Jesus. Others love to ‘worship’, but they are so slow to witness.
They need to hear Jesus’ words - ‘Return to your home, and declare how
much God has done for you’(39). Real faith worships. Real faith
witnesses. We need both - Worship and Witness. Some - ‘the
multitudes’(45) - touch Jesus superficially. They are interested - when
everything seems exciting! They touch Jesus religiously. They do not
touch Him by faith. Where is the ‘power’, the resurrection power
(46,54)? Without faith, there is no power!
