(Nuggets from Luke 24:47)
After the resurrection of our Lord Jesus, He needed to give His disciples one final charge - to be witnesses, preaching the gospel to all.
Jesus needed to tell His disciples the MESSAGE they must preach, the REASON for the GOSPEL and the SCOPE of the GOSPEL.
The GOSPEL beginning at Jerusalem was significant because Jesus wanted them to start from the place he was crucified, buried and resurrected. Jesus wanted His disciples to take this message to even the people who were complicit in His death, to let them know that the offer of FORGIVENESS was for them too, showing that God's grace has no limits.
The MESSAGE was primarily REPENTANCE and REMISSION (FORGIVENESS and ATONEMENT for sins).
The REASON for the GOSPEL was to draw the attention of mankind to the cross and make them turn away from sin and return to God.
The SCOPE of the GOSPEL was TO ALL NATIONS, highlighting the fact that GOD'S PLAN FOR SALVATION IS IDENTICAL (THE SAME) and UNIVERSAL, FOR ALL, irrespective of RACE, COLOR, CULTURE or GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION; Salvation is for the whole world.
The atonement for the sins of humanity is what cancels the debt of sin. This is the end result of FORGIVENESS, and this is what Jesus Christ our Lord commissioned His disciples before ascending back into Heaven, and now by extension to every true disciple of His.
Are you witnessing Christ already?
Have you ever told anyone about Jesus and the ultimate price he paid on the cross for the sins of the whole world?
No sinner is excusable for not repenting or reconciling with God before leaving this world because SALVATION IS FOR ALL.
BE A TRUE WITNESS FOR JESUS IN WORD, LIFESTYLE AND THROUGH YOUR DEEDS; LET OTHERS SEE JESUS IN YOU.
