Among many nations

Thus I will magnify Myself and sanctify Myself, and I will be known in the eyes of many nations. Then they shall know that I am the LORD." ' – Ezekiel 38.23

Go into the world and make disciples of all nations. You shell be my witnessing both in Jerusalem, and Judea, and Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the earth. These are the words of Jesus that show God’s commitment to be known in the eyes of many nations.

There was a day when ‘the uttermost parts of the earth’ included Ireland. It was this charge that led Patrick to come here and preach the gospel. His desire was to be the one who went to the uttermost parts.

The Jews of this day thought that God was just for them. That caused a lot of pride and error on their parts. God’s plan was much bigger. God’s plan is that His word be spread to ‘many nations’ that all will know that He is the Lord.

There is a great big world out there that needs to know that our God is the Lord. In a world increasingly turning from Him it is more important than ever that we carry His word to them.
