“Then
Jesus told them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the Good News to
everyone.’” (Mark 16:15 NLT)
“Do
you love Me enough to tell them?” Christianity is rare among the world
religions in containing an explicit command to tell unbelievers the Good News
and to urge them to convert. It is an uncomfortable calling… This obligation to
evangelize is perhaps the aspect most resented by those outside the faith, and
most neglected by those inside. It is an awkward calling. But it is commanded
of Jesus, as blunt as the calls to love our enemies and to care for the
poor…
