GO GO GO!!!
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations...". Matthew 28:18. Jesus said "GO". My friend, but what we do? We, Christians must take serious issues seriously. Enjoying the blissful experience of God's presence in worship services inside air-conditioned and comfortable seats is certainly covetous for a believer, but if he or she would linger around the compassionate Christ, the Commander-in-Chief who ordered the Great Commission to the church would certainly REBUKE, saying "GO, GO, GO". Mary Magdalene who was a devoted follower of Jesus and was immersed in the excitement of meeting her risen Master by the tomb and certainly wants to linger in his presence forgetting her primary responsibility, What did Jesus say? "GO AND TELL OTHERS THAT SHE SAW THE RISEN SAVIOR"! In the Old Testament Lot delayed to escape God's impending judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah, because he liked position, property, and pleasure, oh yes- fun and parties, while the lepers who plundered goods of Aramean camp took a wise and unselfish decision not to wait until daylight to share the good news of the plunder with their fellow brothers. Which group are you my brother? The kingdom of God is plagued with labor trouble. Unless the Christians and churches are fulfilling these purposes, we have no claim for existence, no matter how lovely our buildings, how busy the schedule, or how smooth the organization, how beautifully we dress, and how wonderful our worship team may be. OUCH! Well, my missionary mind woke up this morning! We are gratefully redeemed but are commanded to obey His Commission! GO GO GO GO...GIVE GIVE GIVE. Y'ALL HEAR ME?
