“Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.” [Mark 16:15 NLT]
“Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” [Matthew 28:19-20 NLT]
“Go! And remember that I am sending you out as lambs among wolves.” [Luke 10:3 NLT]
Isn’t it interesting that Jesus’ call to obedience is often preceded by the word “Go!” And isn’t it interesting that our response to Jesus’ “Go” is often, “Who, me?”
Me? How am I supposed to go into all the world? I have responsibilities, and besides not everyone wants to hear the Good News. I don’t deal well with rejection.
Me? To go and make disciples means I must first be a disciple. That requires discipline and I’m sure some training, and maybe I’ll have to pick up my cross daily ….
Me? LORD, have you seen what happens to lambs who hang around with wolves!
Me? And how often His response is, “Yes, you.”
