In the heart of a bustling city, amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life, there lived a young scientist named Emily. Emily was passionate about her work, spending countless hours in her laboratory, tirelessly conducting experiments and researching new discoveries. But on one fateful day, she stumbled upon something that would change her life forever.

It all began with a simple experiment, a routine task that Emily had performed countless times before. As she peered through the microscope, studying the cells in her sample, her eyes widened in astonishment. There, right before her eyes, was something extraordinary, something she had never seen before.

With trembling hands, Emily adjusted the focus of the microscope, confirming what she had just witnessed. It was a groundbreaking discovery, a scientific anomaly that defied all expectations.

Unable to contain her excitement, Emily rushed to her colleagues, bursting into their offices with the news. They listened intently as she explained her findings, their faces lighting up with amazement as they realized the implications of her discovery.

Word quickly spread throughout the scientific community, sparking a frenzy of excitement and anticipation. Emily found herself inundated with calls and emails from researchers and journalists alike, all eager to learn more about her groundbreaking discovery.

But amidst the flurry of attention, Emily remained focused on one thing: sharing her news with the world. She knew that this discovery had the power to change lives, to inspire future generations of scientists, and she was determined to make sure that everyone heard about it.

And so, with unwavering determination, Emily embarked on a whirlwind tour, traveling from one conference to the next, sharing her findings with audiences far and wide. With each presentation, her passion and enthusiasm ignited a spark in those who listened, inspiring them to push the boundaries of what was possible.

As the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, Emily's discovery continued to make waves, earning her accolades and recognition from her peers. But for Emily, the greatest reward came not from the praise and admiration of others, but from knowing that she had made a difference, that her work had helped to shape the future of science.

And as she looked back on the journey that had led her to this moment, Emily couldn't help but feel grateful for the opportunity to share her exciting news with the world. For in doing so, she had not only fulfilled her own dreams but had also opened the door to a world of endless possibilities, where the pursuit of knowledge knew no bounds.

The truth is, this morning, that we all who are believers and followers of Jesus Christ have good news to share that will change the world. We have good news that can change the lives of others forever! Do you believe it today?

Jesus is coming soon, and we have the exciting news that will save the lives of those who are not ready.

"There is an old legend which says when Jesus had ascended into heaven, the angel Gabriel asked him,

"Lord what plans have you made for carrying on your ministry in the world? How will people learn of what you have done for them?"

Jesus responded, "I left that to Peter, James and John, Martha and Mary. They are to tell their friends and their friends will tell other friends until the whole world has heard the good news."

Gabriel then asked, "What if Peter is so busy with his nets and Martha so full of her housework and the friends so preoccupied that they all forget to tell their friends? Don’t you think you should make a “Plan B”?”

Jesus answered, "I have no Plan B. I am counting on My Children to spread my name and my love.”

Telling the world that Jesus is coming back, teaching them to get ready, making them disciples isn’t a nice thing we ought to be doing. It is simply a command that Jesus gave before He returned to Heaven.

Jesus said in Matthew 28:

18 …“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am || with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28, NIV)
