"Jesus appeared to the Eleven and said to them: "Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned." (Mark 16: 15 - 16).
Today is the Feast St Mark the Evangelist. Happy feast day to all my friends named Mark. God endowed Mark with the grace not just to preach the Gospel but to be author of what is considered the first Gospel and mother of all the Gospels.
Jesus gives us the Great Commission: "Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature." What exactly are we to proclaim? We are to proclaim Christ crucified as the power of God and the wisdom of God. (1 Corinthians 1: 23 - 24). Note that we are not called to be philosophers or theologians but simply to share the Good News that Christ was dead. Christ is risen from the dead. Christ will come again to judge the living and the dead. It is as simple as ABC because God wants everyone to be involved.
"They went forth and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs." (Mark 16: 20).
Amen. Alleluia!
God Never Fails. He is faithful.
"Behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age.” (Matthew 28: 20).
