Mark 16: 15-17 - “15 And then he told them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone. 16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. 17 These miraculous signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name, and they will speak in new languages.” (NLT)
Jesus knows the mission. Jesus understands the eternity that we are all looking forward to. So what is it that we are supposed to do while we are here on this earth and in this body? In Mark 16, Jesus says that we are to go into the whole world and tell everyone about the Good News. What is the Good News? Paul tells us in Romans 1: 3-5, “3 The Good News is about his Son. In his earthly life he was born into King David’s family line, 4 and he was shown to be the Son of God when he was raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. He is Jesus Christ our Lord. 5 Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority as apostles to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name.” If we are willing to fulfill Jesus’ vision to spread the Good News, then we will have to be people of action. What will it take for us to fulfill the vision that Christ sets before us? It will take plenty of unceasing prayer. We should be thoughtful and careful, making wise investments of our time, energy, talents, gifts, and money. We should be found to be people who are following in the footsteps of those who have taught us and have shown us the way. Most of all, we need to be people who are willing to fulfill the vision. God desires us. Every part of us. We have to be willing to lay it all before Him and go where He is calling us to go. Hopefully this month we can see where it is that He is calling us to go, and maybe find the strength and courage to go! - Pastor Mike
