Please!! Find A Way

Jesus commanded, “Go into ALL the world, spread the gospel’s Good News”
That was a “TALL order”…the Apostles had to choose
Of how really BIG this task would be, He had given only subtle clues
They had walked with Him all across Israel’s diverse land…STRICTLY teaching Jews
Now He was sending them BEYOND those boarders…would they refuse?
OR travel as new missionaries, starting Christian churches…bring converts into the pews
Turning their back on the old established Jewish order they had known
In these fore-fathers of the church, what a tremendous leap of Faith was shown
Through perils and hardships they ENDURED, to spread the Word…Salvation is in Christ alone
The world as they knew it was relatively small…vast areas still unexplored
Rome ruled the “known” CIVILIZED world, not realizing there was so much more
Soon the whole world would be changing…TIME and PROGRESS opened a new exciting door
TODAY, is there any place left on earth where we haven’t explored?
But the question is how well has man spread the Word of His risen Lord?
Have we been distracted from our goal…fame and fortune now the desired reward?
Now, Jesus knew His command was “DO-ABLE”, in spite of the world’s tremendous size
So much bigger than those original Apostles could ever surmise
Would they have comprehended the number of people who would claim Jesus as their ultimate prize?
But Jesus knew all about the modern day TECHNOLOGY & how it would help spread the Word
Knew how, by the sweet old Gospel Story, hearts could be stirred
How dramatically lives can be changed once it’s heard
How, from generation to generation, the message had to stay PURE
Not added to or anything subtracted from…TOTAL, ABSOLUTE TRUTH had to endure
The message of how God’s own Son’s death would, for man’s sin, be a cure
Because in this ever changing world, Jesus’ command is still relevant today
It’s the only hope to abolish this world’s lawlessness & decay
To bring about the love & peace for which we all earnestly pray
Broken hearts, broken lives, social ills…only the Gospel’s healing power can mend
PLEASE!! FIND A WAY to tell that neighbor, co-worker, loved one or friend
Tracts, literature, passing on e-mails…all Christ’s message can send
Since we’re not restricted to walking dusty roads, as the Apostles in their day
And our world is still changing…now even to those most remote places, the message we can convey
So let’s LIGHT up ALL those dark obscure corners with Salvation’s SAVING ray
For only His perfect Holy Sacrifice on the cross could defeat Satan’s evil scheme
Send our fear of death SCURRING…let Eternal life reign Supreme
This is the “Good News”…our Lord wants ALL THE WORLD to GLEAM
