Go into all the world and proclaim
the gospel to the whole creation.
—Mark 16:15
We interrupt this program to bring you a reminder that the part of the world in which you live is not the whole world but only a small piece of the big world for which your leader died. Take his words to heart:
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (Mt 28:18–20).
What can you do to feel a little deeper and reach a little farther with your influence, your encouragement, your prayers, your funds?
That’s the big picture.
