January 17 | Make Jesus Known
“This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.”  Matthew 24.14

Reading: Matthew 24

We are called to be faithful proclaimers of the gospel throughout the whole world, but when will this task be complete?  God alone knows.  We know Jesus has not yet returned, therefore the task is not yet done.  When it is done, Jesus will come.  Our responsibility is to finish the task.  Gospel proclamation ultimately results in kingdom consummation.  Jesus will return and consummate His kingdom when His mission is accomplished, with every nation and people group having been reached with the gospel.  Let the Lord stir your heart and make you a faithful proclaimer of the gospel today.

Prayer: Lord, help me to believe the gospel.  Help me to not let my concern of self and reputation matter more than the name and reputation of Jesus.  Let nothing keep me from making every opportunity one to make Jesus known.
