From the Pastor’s Desk
The very last thing that Jesus said to His disciples before ascending into Heaven was, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”. Luke furthered this command to add more words of Jesus; “You shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth”. Well people of Yucca, our town may qualify as the end of the earth. No matter how the words are framed, we are commanded to share the Good News (Gospel) of Jesus Christ. As the Apostle Peter puts it, “But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you”. Everyone has a beginning to their Christian faith. We are not born with it, even if we grew up in a Christian family or in a church. At some point in everyone’s life, they must accept the perfect plan of God through His Son, Jesus Christ our Savior. This takes faith. Our Bible teaches us that faith comes by hearing the word of God. Once again, this puts the spreading of the Good News back in to every believer’s hand. It is your assigned job!
