Go

go - vi. (an intransitive verb; i.e., it stands alone and doesn't need to act on a direct object)- 1. To proceed along. 2. To move away from a place: DEPART 3. To pursue a particular course.

Some 5000 years ago God told Noah to go forth (Genesis 8:16). Noah proceeded to follow God's direction to leave the ark and pursue the course of replenishing the world. Then about 2000 years ago Jesus told His disciples to go and teach all peoples, immersing them in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:19). His disciples proceeded to follow the Lord's direction to leave their lives at home, depart from their home towns, and pursue the course of reconciling the world to God through the teaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Have you heard God's call to "Go"? Have you been proceeding along the path that God has set for you? Have you moved away FROM the place that God wanted you to move away from? Have you moved TO pursue the particular course that God wants you to pursue?

We are all running a race, and are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses that have gone before us. I can hear your brothers and sisters in Christ that have finished their race and gone to be with the Lord encouraging you from the side lines to keep on. I can hear them shouting, "Go, my brother, Go my sister, Go!"

Yours in Him,
Pastor B.
