Mark 16:15–20

Jesus said to the apostles, “Go into all the world
and proclaim the good news to the whole creation. The one who believes and is
baptized will be saved; but the one who does not believe will be condemned. And
these signs will accompany those who believe: by using my name they will cast
out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes in their
hands, and if they drink any deadly thing, it will not hurt them; they will lay
their hands on the sick, and they will recover.” So then the Lord Jesus, after
he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand
of God. And they went out and proclaimed the good news everywhere, while the
Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by the signs that accompanied
it.

 

Reflection

Do I believe that Resurrection has happened and the
Crucified One now walks the earth in the person of his disciples?

Do I ever refer the good news to myself? The good
news about me is that I am massively loved and cared for by God.
