Our text today is Mark 16:15-16:

“And he said to them, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.’” — Mark 16:15-16

Jesus gathered his friends one last time. The weight of the cross still hung in their minds. But now he stood alive, victorious over death. He gave them a mission: don’t conceal, proclaim. Go into every town, every street, every heart, and tell the good news. Believe and be baptized. That simple call would launch the church and shock the world.

God’s love isn’t supposed to be kept to ourselves. When we believe in Jesus, we get caught up in his story, and that story must be told. In addition, baptism is one of those acts that demonstrates our decision: we die to the old life and rise with Christ in a brand new life. Belief is personal but never private; it’s powerful and public.

Too often, we think the Great Commission is exclusively for pastors or missionaries. However, this command applies everywhere you go: your office, your neighborhood, and even your lunch table. Obedience is faith in motion: speaking truth in everyday moments. Your faith becomes real when you share it—when you invite someone to take that first step of belief and baptism. So, encourage belief in others today and do it yourself.

ASK THIS:

1. Who in your circle needs to hear the gospel this week?
2. What fears keep you from starting spiritual conversations?
3. How would your life look if you lived always “sent” instead of “sitting”?
4. What next step can you take to show belief—either in baptism or in bold witness?

DO THIS:

Identify one person you can tell about Jesus by tomorrow—then send a text, make a call, or invite them for coffee and share the gospel in two sentences.

PRAY THIS:

Lord, give me boldness to obey your command and share the gospel without apology. Make my words clear and my heart fearless, so others can believe and be saved. Amen
