Title: Preach the Good News.

Matthew 28:19 KJV

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost."

Devotion

As Christians, we eagerly observe Easter, Christmas, and other significant events, but often neglect the most crucial task entrusted to us by Jesus Christ. After His resurrection, Jesus spent 40 days with His disciples, preparing them for life without His physical presence. He taught them how to make disciples and empowered them with the Holy Spirit in the Upper Room.

Jesus gave the disciples the Great Commission to preach the Good News of Christ to every corner of the world, baptizing people in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Unfortunately, many Christians believe this responsibility lies solely with the clergy, excluding laymen from this duty. However, the Bible instructs us that those who have been saved should rise up for the salvation of others (1 Corinthians 9:22 and Jude 1:23).

We don't need to be told to preach the Gospel; it's Jesus' direct instruction, and we're obligated to carry it out. Take a moment to examine your life: are you truly living for Christ in deed and character? Our conduct should attract people to Christ, not drive them away. When we live out our faith, our words will carry weight, and people will be more likely to believe and accept Christ.

Let's look around us and minister the Word of God to those in need. May we be faithful to the Great Commission and share the Good News with our neighbors and friends.
