Go Ye Therefore…maybe there is a work to do here first

“There is home missionary work that is to be done, and we hear the plea, So long as there is so much sin and such need of labor in our own country, why manifest such zeal for foreign countries? I answer, Our field is the world. . . . The Saviour directed His disciples to begin their work in Jerusalem, and then pass on through Judea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Only a small proportion of the people accepted the doctrine; but the messengers bore the message rapidly from place to place, passing from country to
country, lifting the standard of the gospel in all the near and
far-off places of the earth. But there was a preparatory work. The
Saviour’s promise was, “But ye shall receive power, after that the
Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me.” Those
who will not follow their own will and desires, but seek counsel of
the Lord, will not be dull scholars for the Lord will teach them. {Mar
38.3}”

I’ve always been excited to hear about hundreds or thousands of
baptisms abroad. Soooooo excited that I just want to buy an airplane
ticket & join an evangelistic team overseas. However, I realize that
I must be faithful where I am at this time in my life because if I am
not faithful in the small things then I know I will not be faithful in
bigger things that God has in store for me. Even if just one souls is
led to Christ in our sphere of influence the whole Heavenly family
rejoices. May we be vessels of messengers in our circle of influence
even if one or a hundred souls accept Christ —as long as we are
faithful to our calling!

Have a blessed week & pray that you can share the story of Calvary
with a soul this week!
