Thought for Thursday January 14

Alleluia, alleluia.
Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom
and cured every disease among the people.
Alleluia, alleluia.

Mark 1: 40 – 45  Then he said to him, “See that you tell no one anything, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them.” The man went away and began to publicize the whole matter.  He spread the report abroad so that it was impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly.

Have I ever had the experience of being known for something – maybe among family, friends or coworkers?  Do I like getting a lot of attention?

Action:  The next time you are the “center of attention,” whether you like it or not,  use the opportunity to bear witness to Christ.
