KI 7:9{Just the last persons who would seem to need the good tidings, and the last, too, who would seem likely to have them to convey! But, oh, how true the figure is! How many among the King's own household need the good tidings which these lepers brought! For they are starving so near to plenty, and poor within reach of treasure, and thinking themselves besieged when the Lord has dispersed the foe for them. Is it not often the spiritual leper, the conscious outcast, the famine-stricken, possession-less soul, who takes the boldest step into the fullest salvation, and finds deliverance and abundance and riches beyond what the more favored and older inmate of the King's household knows anything about? It may be one of the enemy's devices, that we sometimes hold back good tidings, just because we shrink from telling them to the King's household. How many who do not hesitate to speak of Jesus to little children or poor people, or even to persons who openly say, "We will not have this man to reign over us," never say one word to their fellow-subjects about the blessed discoveries that the Holy Spirit has made to them of the fullness of His salvation, and the reality of His power, and the treasures of His Word, and the satisfaction of His love, and the far-reaching fulfillments of His promises, and the real, actual deliverance, and freedom, and victory, which He gives, and the strength and the healing that flow through faith in His name!
Tell it out among the nations that the Savior reigns!
Tell it out among the heathen, bid them burst their chains!
Tell it out among the weeping ones that Jesus lives;
Tell it out among the weary ones what rest He gives;
Tell It out among the sinners that He came to save;
Tell it out among the dying that He triumphed o'er the grave.
