Scripture: Mark 16:15
Jesus said to them, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the good news to every creature.”
Thought for the Day: Rob Bell wrote:
If the gospel isn’t good news for everybody, then it isn’t good news for anybody. And this is because the most powerful things happen when the church surrenders its desire to convert people and convince them to join. It is when the church gives itself away in radical acts of service and compassion, expecting nothing in return, that the way of Jesus is most vividly put on display.
How often has the church claimed to be about the work of sharing good news, when in fact, many found it to be bad news. As we begin a new week, let us put our lives on display with acts of service and compassion that clearly announce good news to all.
Prayer: Let me go where you lead me, O Lord Jesus, and share the good news to those who need to hear and experience it firsthand. Amen.
