Sharing the Abundant Love

 

Why must we go out to the far ends of the world to preach the Gospel of Jesus when people do not have to know Jesus in order to enter the house of God?   We must go out because we want to share with all people the abundant love and hope, joy and peace that Jesus brought to us.  We want to "proclaim the unfathomable treasure of Christ" and "throw light on the inner workings of the mystery kept hidden through all ages in God, the creator of everything"  (Ephesians 3:8-9).

 

What we have received is so beautiful and so rich that we cannot hold it for ourselves but feel compelled to bring it to every human being on earth.
