Summary: Mark 16:14-20
After suffering, dying, and rising again, Jesus told His disciples what this meant for them. He called them to share the message about Him with the whole world. Then Jesus ascended to heaven, but He did not leave the disciples alone. He promised the Holy Spirit as God’s presence with them wherever they went.
What does this say about God?
God has a purpose for our lives. We have the same task as the disciples: go and tell others about this hope of Jesus. He has given us this call with His power equipping us every step of the way.
