Preaching – Part 2
“And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15).
It has been estimated that if all the unsaved people of the world were to line up single file at your front door, the line would reach around the world 30 times, and this line would grow by twenty miles each day.
Now, if you were to drive a car at 50 miles an hour for ten hours a day, it would take you 4 years and 40 days to get to the end of the line of souls. And by then it would have grown by 30,000 miles.
Even if these statistics are only somewhat accurate, they should make us aware of the great need there is in the world today. We don’t have to look very far to see the need or make known the gospel. The Lord says to each of us, “Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee” (Mark 5:19). Look out your front door and see lost souls. Then in one way or another, “Preach the Word” (2 Timothy 4:2).
