What do you mean, "Don't tell anyone"?

Matt. 9: 27 And as Jesus passed on from there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, "Have mercy on us, Son of David." 28 When he entered the house, the blind men came to him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to him, "Yes, Lord." 29 Then he touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith be it done to you." 30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, "See that no one knows about it." 31 But they went away and spread his fame through all that district.

When Jesus changes our lives, through salvation, it should be that there is no shutting us up. There should be no way to keep us silent. We should be telling others, all the time, what God has done and is doing in our lives.

These men were blind and Jesus heals them. He then tells them, "See that no one knows about it." I think I would have said, "What, can I not say anything? Everyone is going to know that this morning I was blind and now I can see, and You don't want me to let anyone know?" How is it that Jesus changes our lives so drastically, in salvation, and yet we are still the same in so many ways that no one notices?

Unless we are being conformed to His likeness, through His Word and prayer, we will remain the same as we were previously. Pray that He would give us that desire. If you currently have it, pray that He would continue that work in you, until you are complete in Him.

Oh what a blessed day when we will see our Savior and we start to get a real glimpse of how great He is. When we can see for the first time what He has been trying to tell us about Himself and of Heaven. We will probably be walking around saying, "I had no idea".

Lord, give us a glimpse of Your glory and splendor here, today, so we would be encouraged by the Prize and remain in the race. Don't let us lose heart, for You are the only prize worth running after. Give us endurance for the race today. May we run with joy, because You are our prize and we desire You more than anything else. Give us other worldly thoughts, other worldly loves and other worldly vision.
