He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”
(Mark 16:15)
Mark’s Gospel ends as it began, with a King on the move. Now the King is risen, and the mission belongs to his people. The women found an empty tomb, and the disciples doubted the news. Then Jesus stood among them and gave them the whole world. He gave the Church a message and his presence to carry it. The gospel is news to speak, in our streets and across the sea. Wherever his people carry that word, the Lord works with them. Speak it today, and trust him to work with you.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, give your Church boldness to carry your gospel into all the world. Open our mouths where we live and work, and work with us as we speak. Amen.
