Spread the Word.

One of the greatest commands in the world and one of my favorite scriptures are

Matthew 28:18-20. And Jesus came and spoke to them saying, “All authority has been given unto me in Heaven and on earth, Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have taught you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

This is a command to all the disciples of Christ. One can ask, “When do I qualify to be a disciple of Jesus?” One is a disciple of Jesus if they have received Jesus into their lives as their Lord and personal Savior and are following the Lord. This command to spread the gospel is not only to the Pastors, Apostles, Teachers, Prophets, and Evangelists but to all who profess Christ Jesus as Lord.

If the gospel had not been spread by the early church, many Christians today would still be lost in darkness. God has given us this mandate because many are still in darkness and need to know about Christ Jesus.

The Bible tells us in Romans 10:13 that, “For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

 Then continues by saying,

 ¹⁴ How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?

 And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?

And how shall they hear without a preacher?

 ¹⁵ And how shall they preach unless they are sent?

 As it is written:

“How beautiful are the feet of those who ^[a]preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”

This is a call to us all; let us preach the word of God to depopulate hell and populate Heaven. Amen.
