The Great Commission and Those Who Don't Want to Hear It
June 14th 2007 00:47
Go Ye therefore and teach all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you and, lo, I am with you even to the end of the world. Matt. 28:19,20
According to the above reference, Jesus has called all believers beginning with his disciples to go out into the world and spread the message of hope that all may come to Jesus in faith believing. But there are some of the opinion that believers should "mind their own business" and keep their religion inside the four walls of the church! Some of these people are in high places and this has resulted in the almost total elimination of the expression in the public arena. Also, I along with other believers would be disobedient to Christ's command. For believers, this is not an option but a command. So, if a person doesn't want to hear it, then that's one thing but to try to restrict through legislation the disemination of the gospel message would be the loss of religious liberty which is one of the fundamental rights our forefathers fought and died for in this nation of ours. In today's high tech society the internet is another way the message can be brodcasted throughout the world.
