While one might think that most important aspect of running a business or a corporation is accounting or some other financial area, one of the most highly valued areas of business management is actually public relations. Getting the word out about a company or even an individual, such as an actor or politician, is vital to its success. It can also be expensive. Many large public relations firms will charge annual rates ranging from $50,000 to $200,000 or more, even for small companies. Those rates speak to the value businesses place on good PR.
When Jesus had delivered a man from several demons in the country of the Gerasenes, the man wanted to follow Jesus wherever he went (v. 38). But instead, Jesus told him, "Return to your home, and declare how much God has done for you" (v. 39). Jesus incorporated this delivered man into his public relations team! When we come to Christ in faith, we also take on a public relations position in his service, relating his love and goodness to a fallen humanity. Are we doing our job?
