Mark 16:15 And He
(Jesus) said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to
every creature.
Pastor Kennedy explains that
when we first come to the Savior Jesus Christ, we come with empty hands, empty
of anything that could commend us to His kingdom. With empty hands we embrace
His Cross and trust to His redeeming work to save us. But when we meet Christ
in heaven, we may hope our hands will be full to overflowing with the souls we
have led into His everlasting kingdom.
Pastor asks, if you were to
meet Christ in heaven today, what would you hold in your hands to offer Him?
Christ has commanded us to give witness of Him to the world. He said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel
to every creature.” Our world is lost and dying in sin, and we Christians
have within our hands the only cure: the good news that Jesus Christ freely
offers salvation to all who would come to Him. We need to share that good news
freely to bring hope and healing into the world.
Pastor points out that as we
share Christ with others, we will gain a real sense of significance and purpose
for our lives. And as we walk in faith, giving away the abundant resource of
God’s grace, we gain even more spiritual growth in return. Not only is
witnessing to people a command from Jesus Christ, it is a tremendous privilege.
Do you know someone who needs to hear the Good News today?
