Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation. He who believes and is baptised will be saved.
Mk.16:15,16
Jesus gives the apostles their final commission, go proclaim, heal, and cast out. He then ascends to heaven and the apostles do as commanded. They go.
Two thousand years later the command remains. We tend to be a Church that stays rather than goes. Somewhere along the line we have handed over the commission to the missionaries, the professionals. Jesus says anyone who believes has been given power and authority to use, to go with. To not go is a sign of unbelief.
Lord, show me who to go to and how to go.
Saint Mark the Apostle, please pray for me.
