SIGNS FOLLOW
Since this is Halloween, and scary signs are all around us, I thought it would be good to conclude what we’ve been studying from Mark 16:
“After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He was taken up into heaven and He sat at the right hand of God. Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed His word by the signs that accompanied it” (Mark16:19-20).
Here we see the dual nature of Christianity. The Lord, Jesus Christ, having accomplished His work on earth, returned to the Father where He still sits at the right hand of God, daily interceding for you and I. At the same time, down here on earth, His disciples continue to do what He ordered: they go everywhere preaching the good news.
And the result of the two dual natures working together is that the promised signs and wonders confirm the work of God. God backed them up! And God still backs up real Believers who take risks and act on God’s orders.
With earthly darkness being promoted all around us this week, let’s let our lights shine into the darkness. Because God is good.
