Ministry to All
The followers left there and went to other places. They
talked to the people and told them to change their hearts and
lives. The followers forced many demons out of people. And
the followers put olive oil on sick people and healed them.
-- Mark 6:12-13 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
The disciples told the message to "all" people they met. They didn't
try to pre-decide who would welcome the message and who wouldn't. They
spread their ministry net over a wide area, expanding Jesus' ministry.
They did many good things in the name of Jesus. We MUST learn from
them. The old hymn says, "The blessed Gospel is for all, the Gospel is
for all." It must be. It is not for a select few -- our friends, those
we deem most likely to respond, or those with whom we feel most
comfortable sharing the message. We must tell all to turn their lives
to God and find the blessings of knowing Jesus.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, please forgive any latent prejudice that lingers in my heart
without my awareness. I never want my preconceptions to keep me from
sharing your good news with people. Use my efforts to expand your
Kingdom and reach more people with your saving grace. In Jesus' name I
pray. Amen.
