"They departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and
healing everywhere" Luke 9:6

A great many people do not do this. They come to Christ and hear His
command — but they do not go, or at least they do not preach and heal.
They do not carry to other homes and to other lives — the sweet
blessings of mercy and health they have themselves received. Surely this
is very ungrateful to Christ, when we remember all that He has done for
us. Then it is also very selfish, when we have found such joys — not
to try to share them with others who need them.

Christ wants to get the gospel into every home in the world; and the way
He wants to do this — is through the hearts and hands of those whom he
has already saved. If we do not carry the good news, the lost will not
receive it at all.

It is told of a boy who was converted — that at once he started to
walk, (for he was poor, and could not buy a ticket on the railroad) away
to a place in the West, more than a thousand miles from his home, to
tell his brother and Christ.

History relates that the early Christians, many of them, were so eager
to carry Christ\
