This Week's Bible Reading

During my devotional time today I was reading through for the third day our Bible reading for this week--Mark 7:31-36, where some people brought a deaf mute to Jesus and begged Jesus to heal him. After Jesus did so, the people were so amazed and overwhelmed that they couldn't help but tell others about Jesus, even though Jesus told them to keep quiet.

As I read through the passage today I was thinking about what this might be saying to Community of Grace. A few questions emerged:

1) Who are we bringing to Jesus?
2) What people in need are we bringing to Jesus, begging him to help them?
3) Are we so overwhelmed and amazed by Jesus that we can't stop talking about him?
