Go Forward


Do you believe God has provided you with everything you need today and tomorrow? If so, why do you think so many of us still tend to look to the past for how we would like things to be? This tends to happen with our whole life experience -looking back and not ahead. This kind of thinking was going on with the Disciples. Jesus called it lack of faith, and commanded them to go forward sharing the Good News.

Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen. He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.  - Mark 16:14-15

Jesus was telling the Disciples (and His church), “That life will not be the same (after encountering the risen Savior), there are new tasks to do” When you accept Christ in to your life you’re changed forever. Not just for eternity but from that day forward, so let’s look forward – Jesus is there. Amen?
