"Jesus went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God"
Luke 8 : 1
In spreading his kingdom, Jesus was always surrounded by people he had called to follow him. They were his disciples; people, men and women whom he had called especially by name, and others who latched on to him, intent on hearing what he had to say. That was two thousand years ago, but the same is happening today in our age, and in spite of the many, who though they say there is no God, still cannot stop trying to denounce him, follow eagerly what is being said and done in Christian circles. So it was in Jesus’ time, but the people who remained close to him managed to spread the good news. As Christians, this is our calling today. Just as Jesus invited people to follow him, so, he has invited each one of us, who call ourselves Christians, to continue spreading the good news throughout our towns and villages in the way we live our lives, give example and show care for others, even those who do not agree with the faith we profess.
Prayer
Lord, you have called me to be your disciple; to spread the Good News of your teachings by word and example. Continue to send your Spirit into our lives to enlighten all who call themselves your disciples. Amen.
