Throughout the length of our current sermon series, one of the main emphases has been the fact that the good news about Jesus just cannot be contained. Whether it was the religious leaders of His day trying to squelch His message or undermine His ministry or even Jesus himself telling someone to "keep it to themselves," the word of Jesus' teaching or ministry continued to spread and grow.----------Such is the case this week with our text for Frank's message. Despite Jesus' instructions to a group of people to "tell no one," after an encounter with Jesus, they couldn't help sharing the good news--not matter how strenuously he told them.----------Isn't that the way it is with truly good news? Something amazes us or causes us to be captured in wonder at it and we cannot wait to tell those closest to us and then, in many cases, whoever is willing to listen to us all about it.
