Mark 16:20 (NAS)
And
they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them, and
confirmed the word by the signs that followed.
Mark 16:20 (Philips)
They
went out and preached everywhere. The Lord worked with them, confirming their
message by the signs that followed.
Jesus has called you,
appointing you to evangelize for Him, to take the good news of His death and
resurrection wherever you go. He takes you from the privacy of your home and
brings you before the public to attract attention to Him. He has given you a
wide audience in which to spread and proclaim His word.
You are His herald and He has
given you the authority that causes others to listen to your words and to obey
what you say. He has put you on public display to proclaim openly His wonderful
works. You preach for Him everywhere He takes you.
Jesus Christ, your Messiah
and Lord, has partnered with you in this labor. He works together with you and
helps you in all that you do. So take heart; you do not have to go out in
your strength alone. You know that Yeshua is the One who empowers you in all of
your undertakings.
The Lord establishes all of
your steps, making them firm and sure. He confirms what you speak with miracles
and wonders. In this way He authenticates and proves that you are sent
from Him. Men learn that they can trust what you say, for God's hand is
on you and with you. His signs follow your preaching, marking you as His
disciple.
This is a firm, true, and
faithful saying. So be it! Let it be fulfilled! Amen!
