While Chicago evangelist D. L. Moody was attending a convention in Indianapolis on mass evangelism, he did more than just talk about it. He asked a friend, who was a gifted musician, to meet him on a street corner at 6:00 one evening. The man stood on a box and sang a song. When a crowd gathered, Moody spoke briefly and then invited the people to follow him to the nearby convention hall.

Soon the auditorium was filled with spiritually hungry people, and he preached to them. When the convention attendees began to arrive, Moody stopped preaching and said, “Now we must close, as the brethren of the convention want to discuss the topic, ‘How to Reach the Masses.’”

Jesus sent his disciples out to preach the good news, not just talk about it among themselves. The Great Commission begins with the word, “Go!”

Select a person in your life who needs to hear about Jesus and go to them. Jesus is counting on you.
