The Message and the Messengers - We are called to convey "The Good News"

VERSE:

Mark 16:19-20

19 So then, when the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.  20 And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and confirmed the word by the signs that followed.   And they promptly reported all these instructions to Peter and his companions. And after that, Jesus Himself sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.


LESSON:

The Message and the Messengers - We are called to convey "The Good News"

In this verse, we are told that Jesus gave final instructions to the Disciples, before he was taken back into Heaven to be "...at the right hand of God...".  We were not there...but the calling from Jesus is as real today as it was all of those years ago.  Our calling is to preach and teach the "Good News", the "Word of God"...from East to West...so that all may know of the promise of "...eternal salvation..."  Know these truths for yourself...and share them liberally with all that you meet.
