Luke 4:31-44

Jesus went to Capernaum to continue in His ministry. While there, He cast a demon out of a man in the temple. The people were amazed and word spread quickly. Later, Jesus went to Simon's house where He cured Simon's mother-in-law of a high fever. More people were brought to Him to be healed and have demons cast out and He healed them as well.

This is still the model for spreading the word about Jesus today. Jesus touches each of our lives and we in turn tell someone else who comes to Jesus because of the wonderful things they've heard. Jesus works in that person's life and then they go and tell someone else. For nearly 2000 years, the good news of Christ has been traveling around the world by word of mouth. How awesome is that?
