Go
into all the world
& preach the Good News
to everyone,
everywhere.
Mark 16:15
Jesus is speaking here to His disciples, right before He went back to heaven.
Jesus is very specific here.
He said what to do when He said, "Go..."
I think that's the most important word in the sentence.
iow, Jesus mandated us to be proactive.
He told us where to go: "into all the world".
He was particular when He said what to do when we got out there: "tell people the Good News."
And what was the Good News?
That He had made a way for us to connect with God - that we no longer needed to be separated from God anymore.
Jesus also made it very clear who it was & is we're to go to & tell the Good News: "everyone".
And He also specific about where these people were: "everywhere".
The when of this mandate in implied - NOW!
And He left for us to figure out the how, since He knew how the world would change over the millennia.
Who, what, where, when, & how...
And how many of us are obeying that mandate?
