To the End of the Earth for the End of the World

mark 13 study
"And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations."  Mark 13:10
     This chapter prepares us for the end times- the things to happen before Jesus returns.  It's an ugly chapter, and it gives me a sense of human fear but also anticipation.  The fear comes from not wanting to face pain, physical persecution and suffering, and taking this text literally, the end of times sounds chaotic, full of hatred and disastrous.  My anticipation, on the other hand awaits my King to gather me up with Him and His angels in the clouds.  I look forward to meeting my Maker.  
     Two things grabbed my attention while reading this chapter:  Verses 36-37 where it talks about staying awake, and verse 10- that the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations.   
     I think it's amazing what full-time missionaries do.  Joey and I have always had an interest in missions since we've been married (Joey much longer than that).   Missionaries are ordinary people, called by God to "Go" and proclaim the gospel to other nations- some known nations, some that are being discovered.  What an amazing honor it is to have such a calling placed on your life.  If this is something that Jesus says needs to happen before He can return, I encourage you to do your part!  What does that mean for you?  I'm not sure, but ask God and I'm sure He'll let you know.  Maybe it's praying for a missionary from your church, maybe it's financially supporting missions, or maybe-just maybe, it's going into full-time missions yourself or as a family. 

To the end of the earth for the end of the world?  I think so!
