From Daniel's Desk
In 1 Corinthians 16:22 Paul ends his letter saying, "Maranatha", or "Our Lord comes". Through the years I have heard Christians say, "Come quickly Jesus", or "I wish Jesus would come", or "Jesus is coming any day or moment".
In Mathew 24:14 Jesus said, "This Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations", before He returns to set up His kingdom.
How can any one of us, like Paul, say, "Come quickly Lord Jesus", or expect His sudden appearing, until we have labored with all of our strength, like Paul did.
While America has received the "testimony of the Gospel", our task is incomplete. Many ethnic groups around the world have not heard the Gospel yet. In India alone more than 2000 ethnic groups have not had an adequate gospel witness.
Several Christians organizations like: Operation Mobilization,Joshua Project, and Asia Harvest, research and publish current statistics detailing unreached people groups. We need to continue to focus on those who have not yet heard the good news of Jesus Christ.
