Mark 1:14-15

“14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God,

15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.”

Here we see the example set forth by our Lord and Savior of the preaching of the gospel. In the verses right after this we see Jesus begin gathering His Apostles. The first members of the first church. Three years later we will see Jesus give His Great Commission to this same church to be passed down to all of His churches to come.

The preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the first part and most important part of the Great Commission. Without the salvation of souls there would be no need for the rest of the commission.

The Lord's churches are commanded to go and preach the Gospel to all the world. How is this even possible? Today it is very easy. With the technology God has blessed us with we can preach the Gospel from our pulpits and broadcast it live or through recordings all over the world.

We have missionaries we support financially and with prayer that are the representatives of whole groups of churches. These missionaries are stationed in different points around the world. Preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. What a blessing it is to support such men.

We have no excuse to not be reaching the whole world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Our Lord preached His Gospel in His time on this earth. Do we think we are so much better than He that we need not do the same?

Praise ye the Lord!!!
