He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it. Mark 16:15-20, NIV

The disciples, fuelled by the resurrection reality and the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit, embarked on a mission to share the good news of salvation. Their obedience led to a global ripple effect as they preached everywhere. The message of hope, forgiveness, and eternal life echoed in regions far beyond the initial confines of Jerusalem.

This serves as an encouragement to us today. It reminds us that the Gospel is not bound by geographical or cultural limitations. The power of the message is as potent in our current context as it was in the early days. The same Lord who worked with the first disciples continues to confirm his word through the signs and wonders that accompany our preaching of the good news.

Seeing the world saved requires a collective effort with each of us playing a unique role in fulfilling the Great Commission. Whether in our local communities or in global missions, the call to share the message of salvation remains urgent.

Go. Go today. Go where he sends you. Go with what he has given you. Go!

Let's pray
Lord Jesus, I renew my commitment to the global mission today. Make me bold. Let my life be a living testimony of your transforming power and saving grace. Amen.
