No Better News Than This!
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the
nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy
Spirit, teaching them to observe all
things that I have commanded."
Matthew 28: 19-20
John 3:16 clearly states that the
whole world is the
object of God’s love. Although Jesus was sent first
to the house of Israel (Matthew 15:24; Romans 1:16),
it was so Israel might be readied to fulfill her role of
being a “light to the Gentiles” (Isaiah 42:6; 49:6).
From the beginning,
“God was in Christ
reconciling the
world to Himself” (2 Corinthians 5:19).
When Israel failed to fulfill her role, Christ called out
a peopleto take the Good News of God’s love into all
the world. In His last days on earth, He commissioned
His apostles to go into the world and make disciples
by baptizing and teaching all He had taught them.
The Church in every generation has inherited
that Great Commission as a responsibility to
be carried out until Christ’s return.
The world today is hungry for good news.
And
there's no better news than “God so
loved the world.” Look for a way to share
that message today.
"The Gospel is not a secret
to be hoarded but a story
to be heralded."
