Spreading the Good News Across Borders
The Great Commission, as recorded in Mark 16:15, is a call to action for every believer: “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.” This mandate knows no geographical bounds, and Susie’s story is a powerful testament to its relevance in today’s interconnected world.
A Chance Encounter
Susie, a graduate student from a foreign land, had never heard of Jesus until she moved to the United States. It was there that she met a student involved with Campus Crusade for Christ, who shared the life-changing message of Jesus with her. Within weeks, Susie committed her life to Christ through prayer.
A Long-Distance Conversion
But Susie’s husband was still back in their home country, unaware of the transformative power of Jesus. One evening, while Susie was attending a Christian meeting, her husband called. She seized the opportunity, holding up the phone so he could experience the vibrant worship and praise songs. That night, they discussed Jesus, and her husband made the life-altering decision to receive Christ over the phone.
Embracing Every Opportunity
The Bible urges us to share the good news of Jesus with others, whether they’re nearby or halfway around the world. We must capitalize on every chance God provides, just as Susie did. Whether it’s through a phone call, a conversation with a neighbor, or a digital connection, we can spread God’s love without borders.
Living Out the Great Commission
As followers of Jesus, we’re commissioned to preach the good news to all creation. This mandate is not limited by distance or culture; it’s a universal call to share the love of God with every person, everywhere. So, dear friend, take advantage of every opportunity to share Jesus with others, and watch how God works through you to transform lives across the globe.
