Go and tell Jesus! ',

Back to The Pastor's Morning Visit

"They went and told Jesus." Matthew 14:12

When Herod beheaded John the Baptist—his disciples took up his body and buried it, and went and told Jesus. Let us imitate their example—and carry all to Jesus. He loves to listen to the tale of human woe. He can and will sympathize with us in all our trials and troubles. 

He is our Father, and to whom should the child tell his troubles—but to his kind and tender parent? He will . . .
direct our steps,
avenge our wrongs, and 
turn all things to our advantage. 

Does business go wrong? 
Are enemies active? 
Is corruption strong? 
Does faith flag? 
Are you tried in your family? 

Go and tell Jesus! It will . . .
comfort your mind; 
prevent sin; 
ensure divine supplies; and 
frustrate the designs of Satan. 

Do not sit poring over your miseries; 
do not go not to fellow-creatures;
do not murmur, nor complain, nor fret; 
but go to Jesus! 
Go immediately! 
Go in hope! 
Go and tell Him all, without reserve. 
Go this morning, with all your troubles, desires, and fears! Lay them all before Him, and beseech Him to undertake for you. 
He loves to hear you!
He has promised to help you!
He will certainly bless you!

It is your duty, and your privilege, to pour out your heart before Him, and find Him your sure refuge!
