Topic: With Signs Following
Bible Reading: Mark 16:14-20 (KJV)
14Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
15And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18They 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.
19So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20And 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).
The verb “Go” implies an action. You leave your comfort zone and reach out to those who are dying. The Lord does not say we should wait, but we should reach out to sinners. Our text illustrates the response of Jesus’ disciples to his command, which led to the actualisation of God’s promise to their world. “And they went forth and preached everywhere the Lord working with them and confirming the word with signs following. Amen” (Mark 16:20).
The Great Commission is the instruction given by the resurrected Christ to His disciples to spread the gospel to all nations. We are all called to be committed to the Great Commission. The new birth experience is essential for all who will partake in the service of God. Jesus has promised to back up gospel spreaders with signs and wonders to confirm the word. “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled and they took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus” (Acts 4:13). Are you going?
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Lord, use me to save souls. Amen!
CHALLENGE
Preach the gospel.
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)
