Day 232: What Does it Mean to Go?

Jesus told His disciples nineteen centuries ago to ‘go into all the world to preach the gospel to every creature.’ And still, nearly two thousand years later, about half the world has never heard the gospel once. Is it because it’s not possible to do it? No, with the means of communication we have in the world today it is possible to do it, but it demands sacrifice - sacrifice of time, sacrifice of strength, and maybe sacrifice of your life or your health. I think it was Brother Andrew who said, ‘Jesus said go into all the world and go to every nation. But He didn’t say anything about coming back.’ He didn’t say, ‘Go on the condition you can be certain you can come back.’ He said, ‘Go!’
