Scripture Highlight:
Mark 16:15 (NIV)
He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel
to all creation.”
Reflection:
Ready, set, go! This popular phrase still holds firm across generations. Whether used for an impromptu, childhood footrace or a present-day virtual scavenger hunt game, its effectiveness persists. Upon command, it grabs our attention and prompts us to get into position for a steady readiness. Similarly, envision heaven’s excited use of this phrase when opportunities for us to evangelize arise. Wherever God leads us—and we connect with nonbelievers, the Holy Spirit speaks and guides our hearts. “Ready,” prompting us to fill up on compassion. “Set,” positioning our confidence. “Go,” instructing us to heed Mark 16:15, as we seize the moment. At a time when so many people are enduring tough circumstances globally, or are engaging in the hard conversations we need to have in our communities, may our salvation experiences and dedication to sharing Jesus with others steer a faithful readiness, as a plentiful harvest exists (Matthew 9:37).
