Acts of the Apostles 4:13-21

Psalm 118

Mark 16:9-15

“Go into the whole world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature.” Mk 16:15

Jesus when you came among us to share our bodies, suffering, cold and heat, rejection, hate and love you lived among the people who were there at the time. You where bound by the limitations of a body. You could only be in one place at one time. The people who heard you had to be within the sound of your voice. So when you formed your church you gave the instruction, the command, to spread the good news of God’s love for his people to everyone-far and wide. That means people of all times and places. Our families, our neighbors, coworkers, even those we don’t like. Everyone must hear of your saving death and resurrection.  This season is the reason for our joy. This season is the reason we can be forgiven any sin we commit.  This season is the reason we will be with you forever. How can we sit on this good news?  I can’t wait to help someone who doesn’t know you to be touched by your spirit. I ask the Holy Spirit to guide me in living so I can be a living witness to you my dear Jesus.  Amen Alleluia
