Bible verse
Mark 16:15
“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”
What it means
Before returning to the Father, Jesus sends His followers into the whole world with the good news. The message of His death and rising is not meant to stay hidden among a few; it is for every person, every place, every kind of heart. This is our shared calling, to carry hope to those who have never heard. We do not go in our own power but on His authority, trusting that the same Jesus who commissions us also goes with us. Every neighbor is worth the telling.
