Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city
and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And
the twelve were with Him, - Luke 8.1
Long before the Great Commission Jesus was setting an
example of it. As He went He preached the gospel in every town and village and
brought them ‘good tiding of great joy.’
Jesus instructs us that one of the great tests of
whether or not we trust Him is if we follow Him. The proof of the saying is in
the doing. Are we looking, wherever we go, for those opportunities to preach
the gospel and bring the glad tidings of God’s kingdom to those around us?
Later on Jesus would give the commission to go ‘into
all the world’ to preach the gospel. He would say that we are to be His
witnesses in Jerusalem, and Judea and Samaria, and the uttermost parts of the
earth.
There is a whole world of people who need to hear the
good news of the gospel. We must be willing to do our share.
