Mark 16:15 “And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.”
Now Jesus was revealing to them that the second hand witness plan was how the gospel was to reach the entire world. He wanted his disciples to go to all the world and tell them what they had seen and heard. All the world was to be expected to believe this eyewitness account. And, this is the activity Christianity is still up to today.
It is this command that causes many of us to value what we call evangelical Christianity. And what is evangelical Christianity? It is Christians who actually believe we should follow Christ’s command. We should be witnesses for him of what the disciples saw and heard. The resurrection is the single most important event in all of history. And it is our job to share it with the world. We are to share it with love, we are to share it with kindness, we are to share it with humility. But, we are to share it without shame. It is important, and we cannot voluntary silence ourselves. We must not spread this message by force. But we must be willing to give our lives for the right to share it.
Heavenly Father, thank You for another day and another opportunity to share the glorious message of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is a privilege, it is an honor. We will not take it lightly. It is the nicest thing we can do for anyone, to show them that Jesus has died for them and that You love them so very much. Thank You for Your beautiful plan of salvation! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
