Mark 16:15 is also known as The Great Commission. It empowers followers of Jesus to be active participants in spreading the Gospel around the world. It doesn't encourage us to merely go out into the world and see what's going on.

The Great Commission lets us know the critical part that we play in telling the world about Jesus. To the early apostles, this mission might have sounded impossible. How would a group of average men spread the Gospel? But they understood the call and obeyed.

After He was resurrected, Jesus ascended back to Heaven and is now sitting at the right hand of the Father. We are the bearers of His testimony of salvation to those around us.

The world needs to see true believers who live out a relationship with God and have a love for humanity. The love we show will demonstrate that we are true disciples. Saying that we follow God isn't enough; we need the power of the Holy Spirit inside of us to draw people to Him.

God still uses His followers today to reach people all around the globe. Currently, there are more than 7,000 groups of people in the world who have never heard of Jesus.

Each of us can play a part in reaching them. The question is, how will we respond to the call?

Afternoon Prayer

God, I'm so glad I'm part of the Christian family. It's a privilege to carry out your mission of spreading the Gospel, but I am incapable of telling others about you without the power of the Holy Spirit. Please fill me with your love for those who don't know you. Thank you for saving me. In Jesus' name, amen.

Yesterday Afternoon's Bible study

The Bible is unlike any other book that has ever been written. The words are powerful and have the ability to change a person's life.

The first step in receiving all that the Bible has to offer is believing that God's Word is true. When we meditate on it, act on it, and allow God to use it to change our lives, we will gain wisdom and knowledge.

The Bible has the answers to the challenges and struggles we face. It will encourage you as you read stories of God's faithfulness throughout time. The Bible is consistent all the way through. You won't find verses that contradict each other or are contrary to God's character.

Some people go through life feeling as though God never speaks to them. However, not only does God speak to our hearts and minds, He also uses His Word to reveal His truths to us. We are negligent when we allow our Bibles to go unread—and we're cheating ourselves out of something indescribably precious.

This Proverb also says that God is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. God's Word protects our hearts as we apply His truths to our lives.

Be encouraged to read God's Word today. Trust Him to show you how His revelation from long ago still has relevance today.

Yesterday Afternoon's Prayer

God, thank you for giving us your holy Word. I'm grateful for the opportunity to study it. Please reveal your truths to me as I seek you. Let your Words come alive in me and change me into your image. Give me the wisdom to share your truth with others. In Jesus' name, amen.
