Mark 15-16 – Go and tell the World


Christ’s death, burial and resurrection is all very familiar to us.  The shame and humiliation that Christ endured, to us seems terrible, but to Christ, He knew it was part of God’s plan for Him.  Even His own people mocked Him.  Yet, He was willing to die for each sinner. 

For most of us (me included), when we are wronged by someone or something, we tend to view that person or thing negatively; but not Christ.  Christ followed through with the plans that God had for Him knowing that the world needed a Savior. 

After His resurrection, Christ instructed His disciples to “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.”  There was a need and Christ was the answer. 

As Christians, we are commanded to tells others about Christ and the power of His salvation.  I don’t think that this means each and everyone of us is called to be a preacher or evangelist, or even a missionary for that matter.  However, we still have been commanded to spread the gospel.  Maybe your world doesn’t extend more than 50 miles from your house on a daily basis.  Each day we should be an example of Christ’s love so that others may know of the power of Christ’s death, burial and resurrection.
