The One Who Could Not Be Hidden
------------------------------------

Read: Mark 7:24-30

------------------------------------

He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be hidden. ~  Mark 7:24
------------------------------------

Attar of Roses, a fragrant oil, is one of the most valuable products of Bulgaria and is heavily taxed for export. A tourist, unwilling to pay the duty, sought to evade customs by concealing two vials of the precious fluid in his suitcase. By the time he reached the train station, the aroma was emanating from the luggage, declaring the presence of the hidden treasure. The authorities immediately knew what the man had done and confiscated the costly souvenirs. 

The Lord Jesus could not be hidden either. Crowd were constantly mobbing Him to hear His words of wisdom, to benefit from His deeds of mercy, and to derive help from His loving compassion.

After He ascended to His Father, Jesus' influence continued in the lives of His disciples. The populace "realized that they had been with Jesus" (Acts 4:13). Their deportment and their attitude marked them as His true followers.

Are you living completely for Jesus? Is the love of Christ so obvious in your life that those who know you realize that you are a follower of the One who "could not be hidden"? (Mark 7:24). If so, the world will readily see that you are on God's side. Your influence cannot be hidden.


~  Henry Bosch              
--------------------------------
When we've been alone with Jesus,
Learning from Him day by day,
Others soon will sense the difference
As we walk along life's way.

~ Hess.

Thought For The Day: 

You cannot hide your influence.
