From Jews to Gentiles, Day 5

⁶So when they met together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?"

⁷He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. ⁸But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

(Acts 1: 6-8)

God could have sent Jesus to every part of the world to tell them about salvation, but instead God chose to send you. Part of our job as the church is to take the message of Jesus to all those who've not heard it. There are more than 1 billion people on the planet today who literally have no idea who Jesus is. They have no hope that they can be saved from their own sin. God is sending us out - just as he sent the first disciples - to share the good news with a lost world. God loves them and desperately wants them to know salvation. If this is God's heart, then it should be ours as well.

Have you felt God calling you to share the gospel with people outside your culture?

How can you do that this week...this month...this year?

Ask God to show you where he wants to use you.
