And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
- Matthew 24:14 (NIV)
I mentioned yesterday that Saint Patrick was not Irish at all, but he was born in Britain.
He was kidnapped at the age of 16 by Irish raiders and spent six years in captivity where he turned to his faith.
He escaped after a dream in which he writes that he heard God’s voice telling him to leave Ireland, and began 15 years of religious training so he could follow another dream where an angel told him to return to Ireland as a missionary.
Talk about spreading the word, history tells us that for twenty years he traveled Ireland to baptize people and build monasteries, schools and churches.
We were given a Great Commission from Jesus: to share the word of the Lord.
Saint Patrick shared the gospel during a time in our history when he could have been imprisoned or even killed, but he did it anyway.
God’s word says to share the gospel to all nations and right now I think many need to hear His word.
