And Went And Told Jesus

May 18

And went and told Jesus.

Matthew 14:12

And his disciples came, and took up the body,

and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

When Herod beheaded John, 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 shall 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?

Our enemies active?

Is corruption strong?

Does faith flag?

Are you tried in your family?

Go and tell Jesus.

It is it will ease your mind; prevent sin; ensure supplies; manifest relation; and frustrate the designs of Satan.

Do not sit poring over your miseries; go not to the creatures; neither murmur, complain, nor fret; but go to Jesus; go with speed; go in hope; go and tell Him all without reserve.

Go this morning, with all thy complaints, desires, and fears; lay them all before Him, and beseech Him to undertake for you.

He loves to hear you, has promised to help you, and will certainly bless you.

It is your duty, and your privilege, to pour out your heart before Him, and find Him a refuge for you.

Our sorrows and tears we pour

Into the bosom of our God;

He hears us in the mournful hour,

And helps us bear the heavy load.

James Smith
