Jesus knows what's going to happen. When we follow Jesus, we can be assured that everything will work out.
This man shows us three important things that happen when we say yes to Jesus:
1. I get to make a difference.
2. I get to use what I have for the good of others.
3. I get to be a part of God's bigger story.
We don't know this man's name but Jesus knows his name. Jesus knows my name.
Often we don't get to see what happens (like Dr. King) but God knows. We just need to say yes and become part of the bigger story.
Unexpected results happen when we say yes to Jesus.
