I Have Made You A Light To The Gentiles,

To Bring Salvation

To The Farthest Corners Of The Earth

Scripture

Acts 13 

47 For the Lord gave us this command when he said,

‘I have made you a light to the Gentiles,
    to bring salvation to the farthest corners of the earth.’”


Observation

It is true that there are people all around us that need to hear about Jesus and we should share Christ with them. But it is very easy to be so concerned with our “Jerusalem” that we never take the message of salvation to the farthest corners of the earth.

It is way to easy to just focus on growing our local church. Just reaching our city is an all-consuming task, but we have been called, no we have been commanded, to take the Gospel to the entire world.

It is the task of the church.

So we have to figure out how to reach this world and add that “Great Commission” to our busy schedules!

Application

I will pray for an unreached people group everyday and hopefully one day soon I will be able to go. Today I pray for the Fula Jalon peoples in Guinea.



Prayer

Heavenly Father, help us as a church to find time this year to engage an unreached people group. I pray that You call out people from within our church that will take the Gospel to the farthest corners of the earth.
