There is a great need for the Gospel to be taken to the ends of the world, and this verse gives us the foundation, the method, and the hope of missions.
Christ, the Good Shepherd, came to earth to gather His sheep from lostness and darkness. And He MUST bring them into His fold. These lost sheep hear the voice of their Savior through the lips of human messengers proclaiming the good news of the Gospel. And it is guaranteed to be a success; they WILL be brought into the one pasture of Christ's Church, where He Himself will be their one Pastor.
We need to bring the Gospel to others, starting with our own families and neighbors, but always with an outward momentum. Jesus wants to seek and save the lost sheep! |
