The gospel must first be preached to all nations

“When these things begin to happen, watch out! You will be handed over to
the local councils and beaten in the synagogues. You will stand trial before governors and kings because you are my followers. But this will be your opportunity to tell them about me.[b] 10 For the Good News must first be preached to all nations. Mark 13.

In America at the present time we have a subtle persecution.  It is moving to a more open and antagonistic persecution.  All because we are followers of Jesus Christ.  The world hated him and will hate us also, because we follow him.

Part of the reason for persecution is the opportunity to be a witness of the life and impact of Jesus.  He changes lives.  Even when the threat of death, Christians remain faithful without fighting back.  This makes NO worldly sense, yet the love of Christ compels us to choose to follow Christ.

Then Jesus says that gospel must be preached to all nations.  According to the Joshua project at the present there are 40 percent of all people groups that have never heard the gospel.  This group represents 3 billion people a little less than half of the 7.2 billion people in the world.  To study more https://joshuaproject.net/global_statistics

This does not include children in the reached group that also have never heard.  We have a big task at hand to tell the world that Jesus loves them and he is the savior that they need.  We are too entangled with the affairs of the world.  We have missed the main thing of lifting the name of Jesus higher so that all men could know him as Lord and Savior.

EACH one REACH ONE is possible.  Let’s just ask the lord to help those who are working so hard to reach the unreached.  Send money to ministries like Wycliffe or partner with Bible ministries who distribute in all parts of the world.  IF we ask God, He will be faithful to show us how we can participate in reaching the world for Christ.  The great commission is possible because Jesus asked us to do it.  Let’s Go into all the world.
