COMMISSIONED TO GIVE THE WORLD THE LIGHT
(Preparing the World for Christ’s Return)
TO THE BIBLE - Matthew 24:14
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come”
LET’S TALK
“Bro, do you really think God can use someone like me?” David asked, staring at his phone.
“Why not?” Samuel replied. “You’re always talking about Jesus in school. You pray. You care about people.”
David sighed. “Yeah… but I’m just a teenager.”
Samuel smiled. “That’s exactly who God is looking for.”
The Bible tells us in Luke chapter one of how the man of God, Zechariah, in excitement at the birth of John, his newborn son, prophetically addressed the little boy:
“And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest; for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways, To give knowledge of salvation to His people by the remission of their sins, through the tender mercy of our God, With which the dayspring from on high has visited us; to give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace” (Luke 1:76–79).
I remember praying with these words many years ago as the power of God was stirred within me. I realized it was my commission to preach the Gospel to the whole world. We have been sent ahead of the second coming of Christ to give the knowledge of salvation to ALL people.
We’re that seed, in whose hands the pleasure of the Lord is prospering as we preach His message to the ends of the earth! That means you and I are part of God’s plan right now, even as students and young people.
You’re the light of the world, but you’ll never know how brightly your light can shine until you reach out to those living in darkness. You’ll never know how powerful the gifts of God in your life are until you come to those in the shadow of death. This can start with your friends, classmates, teammates, and people you meet every day. Praise God!
GO DEEPER
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Psalms 22:27-28 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. [28] For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.
SPEAK
I’ve been called to go forth and give the knowledge of salvation unto all people by the remission of their sins through the tender mercy of our God. I am the light of the world, and I give light to those in my world today and guide their feet into the way of peace. Amen.
