“But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)
The Book of acts is the story of men and women who took that commission seriously and begin to spread the news of a risen Savior to the most remote corners of the known world. We are called to the same commission!
Jesus gives us instructions- He says we shall be witnesses in:
Jerusalem -this was their immediate surrounding. Start here, right around you in the atmosphere you are in!
Judea- this was their immediate region. Branch out and affect the region He's put you in. Only you are exactly in the area He has you.
Samaria-this was the immediate Gentile region. What area of non-believers does He have you near. Who needs to hear the good news?
To the ends of the world-He wants to the world to hear the power of Christ crucified and Christ resurrected!
“The Lord does...not desiring that any should perish, but that all should turn to repentance.” (2 Peter 3:9)
"Go make disciples of all nations!" (Matt 28:19)
