The One Who Could Not Be Hidden

1114Mark 7:24
He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He could not be hidden

One of the most valuable products of Bulgaria is attar of roses, a fragrant oil. Therefore, this fragrant is heavily taxed for export. Once upon a time, a tourist, unwilling to pay the duty, sought to evade customs by concealing two vials of the precious fluid in his suitcase.
Apparently a little of the perfume had spilled in his suitcase. By the time he reached the station, the aroma was emanating from the luggage, declaring the presence of the hidden treasure. Knowing what the man had done, the authorities confiscated the costly souvenirs.
The Lord Jesus could not be hidden either, since crowds were constantly mobbing Him. They wanted to hear His words of wisdom, to benefit from His deeds of mercy, and to derive help from His loving compassion.
After He ascended to His Father, Jesus’ influence continued in the lives of His disciples. The populace “realized that they had been with Jesus” ([bible]0acts4:13[/bible]). Their deportment and their attitude marked them as His true followers.
Then what about you? Are you living completely for Jesus? Is the love of Christ so obvious in your life that those who know you realize that you are a follower of the One who “could not be hidden”? If so, the world will readily see that you are on God’s side. Your influence cannot be hidden.
You cannot hide your influence.
