Christian Devotional – September 28, 2012

VERSE:
Mark 16:15–And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”

TRUTH:
Jesus, after He rose from the dead, gave His followers a mandate. They were to go and share with all creation the message of salvation through Jesus Christ. It’s so easy to talk about doing this or discuss Jesus with our other Christian friends. Instead, God is indicating that we are to have an excitement for what God is doing in our life that compels us to share with everyone we come into contact with. The disciples may have thought it odd that Jesus gave them this mandate, after all, this was the most wonderful and exciting thing that had ever happened to them. Of course they would be sharing it! We should be the same.

RESPONSE:
Father, help me to recapture the excitement of sharing your message to all creation! You have done such amazing and wonderful things in my life, I am eager to tell the world all that You have done for me and what You want to do for them.
