BIBLE TEXT: MARK 16:15-20
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
KEY VERSE: “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).
MESSAGE:
Anthony was very happy because his Dad bought a new bicycle for him, for taking first position in his class. He was eager to share the news with all his friends. So, when the school resumed for the new term, he ran to all his friends telling them about the new bicycle his Dad bought for him. Just like Anthony, as children of God, we have been saved from sin and all its consequences. It is not by your work but through faith in the blood which Jesus shed on the cross st Calvary. In other words, Jesus paid the price for our redemption with His blood.
In appreciation for this gracious work of Jesus, every saved child should be eager and happy to tell all his friends in school and sinners anywhere that Jesus loves them. Tell them with passion and persuasion that He wants them to accept Him into their lives so that their sins can be forgiven, and then they can live successfully and victoriously here on earth and be with Him in heaven at last.
There is no news that is greater or sweeter than the news that Jesus came to the world, died and shed His blood on the cross at Calvary to save humanity from sin, and punishment for sin in hell fire. This is the only news that gives solution to man’s problems and hope to the hopeless. You should give everything in you to spread this good news. There are beautiful blessings for those who wholeheartedly spread the good news.
PRAYER: O Lord, give me the grace to spread the good news of salvation through Jesus everywhere.
FURTHER READING: 2 Corinthians 5:11-15
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
