"Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation."
This is my favourite verse because it tells me that God has chosen me to do something special for him, just as he asked the first disciples. He has also chosen you to do the same.
Some people think that the great commission only applies to missionaries and
ministers. It applies to all of us.
It says ' Go into all the world' which covers the
area where we live, right to the other side of the world. We are told to preach
the good news, which means just to tell other people about Jesus and what he
has done for us. You don't need to be a preacher or a teacher to do this.
I've had the privilege of sharing his good news around the world in places like
the Philippines, Estonia, Serbia and the Czech and Slovak Republics. I've also
been asked to share the good news with my neighbours in East Kilbride.
I ask you to relate this
verse to yourself, because it applies to each one of us in whichever place or
country he has put us in. He wants us to share the good news with all the people
that we meet.
