Taylor Luke 24:47 -- And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations beginning at Jerusalem. These are words of our risen Lord and as such they should have more then their usual weight and significance for us. They should have an undeniable authority for those who claim to be His followers. On Easter Sunday there were many who commemorated celebrated the resurrection our Lord Jesus Christ. After His resurrection there were a number of appearances to His disciples. The words of the text were spoken on the occasion of one of these latest appearances. It can be seen that good as it is it is not enough just to gather in the Lord's house on Easter Sunday. If we rejoice he resurrection, and worship sincerely on that day, there will surely be a commitment and consecration and obedience to His word, command and will. To worship and then to refuse to hear His word or indifferent to it, would make our worship almost a farce. But instead of being a farce it ought to create and generate a spiritual force for forwarding the Kingdom of Lord and Saviour. FIRST of all then our r Lord said, "That Repentance And Remission OF Sins Should Be Preached In His Name.' Here we see again, so soon after the resurrection, that sin is recognized as a fact and had to be dealt with since sin disobedience to the known will and commandment of God and His Son Jesus Christ. Jesus in His life upon earth saw in sin the deepest evil in '." source of our most tragic woe and hopelessness. It was really sin that put Him to death upon the Cross. It was really the sinner whom Jesus came to save. The Gospel Oasis Baptist Church Colborne Minister: Rev.

Pianist: Mrs, Sunday: 9.45 a.m.--Sunday School 11.00 a.m. & 7.00 p.m.--Rev. A No wonder then that Jesus stated so soon after His resurrection the necessity preaching repentance and mission of sins. It is the only way that the wrong of the past can be dealt with and that a really new start can be made. And so the gospel calls men to repentance, turning away with sorrow from sin and turning to God who alone can forgive in Jesus' name. SECONDLY: Jesus said this repientance anjd iremlission of sins "Should Be Preached Among AH| Nations." Notice the universal note here. Christians or church members you would think preaching the gospel to all nations was man's idea minister's idea or the church's idea or maybe the idea of few fanatics or enthusiasts within the church, (Whereas it is the risen Lord's idea and command. And because the church confesses Jesus Christ its Saviour and Lord and Master it must carry out the Master's wish and command. Naturally there are many criticisms and objections to the church taking the gospel other lands and people. These criticisms and objections ought to be given serous consideration. They shou,l|d /lead to a constant examination of the true nature of the gospel and methods of presentation. But such criticisms are not arguments against the preaching of the gospel to all nations, but rather reasons for greater sincerity and greater emphasis upon Jesus Christ as Saviour, Lord, Master and Friend. It is true that we should begin this ministry and proclamation where we are. But W£ cannot limit it to our owr church or community or country or continent. The words of our Risen Lord still stand and the Christian and the Christian Church have no choice but to obey.
