Hudson Taylor was sharing the Good News –again- to a gathering in the city of Ningpo, China. He hadn’t seen any results after a year of faithful service and he was beginning to feel discouraged. The Chinese loved to discuss new ideas but so far no one seemed to take him seriously. But that night would be different. As soon as he concluded his message, a respected Chinese man stood up to address the crowd. He told everyone that he had been searching for the truth his whole life. His father and grandfather had been searching too. The man said he had tried many different religions and philosophies but had never found rest- until that night. After hearing Hudson’s message, he declared that he had finally found rest in Jesus Christ.

The man was sad that no one had brought the Good News to his city sooner because his grandfather died without knowing the truth. That man dedicated the rest of his life to sharing the message of Jesus Christ.

You know, there are still people searching for the truth. Longing for rest. There are still people who have not heard the name of Jesus, much less the message of Jesus. Maybe you are the person to take that message to them. Jesus commands us to go “everywhere in the whole world.” Where is God leading you?
