“He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.'” Mark 6:15

Today is KC’s birthday so I (Katie) asked if I could hijack the Words of the Day. Happy Birthday KC

We leave behind traces of ourselves everywhere we go, dropping DNA, which tells our story like a puzzle of microscopic pieces.  In the process of living and shedding do we leave a real image of our true person. No. Yes. Maybe?  It depends on the person, doesn’t it?  As a Christian we know we are much more than the bodies we inhabit, and we also know we should be leaving behind much more than strands of hair and flakes of skin. 

Let’s just say I know a guy that literally litters Jesus everywhere he goes.  No one is safe from his inquiries “Are you a Jesus guy?”  No place is off limits, from the gym to the airport – restaurants are his jam.  He even claimed a busy intersection to proclaim Jesus as Lord twice a week! Proclaiming the name of Jesus is like breathing to him – that’s how much he loves Him.  While others may see him as annoying and bothersome, he’s often been known to go ‘a meddlin’.  I will admit there have been times I wanted to be selfish and not share my dinner while sharing the Gospel – shame on me!  Some may see this as pushy and even over the top.  But I will say this in my best ‘wanna be’ Southern voice, “Y’all… this guy loves them more than we do.”  He sees them as lost- we look the other way.  He listens and eagerly waits for an opportunity to pounce with the Good News to perishing people – one ‘special’ waitress at a time.  While we are more interested in the menu and the ‘special’ of the day.  

We have all been given The Great Commission – but usually we selfishly strap on blinders to the lost people we bump into every day.  It is most often easier to ignore than engage.  Not this man, he is busy doing the bumping, because the responsibility weighs heavily on him.  That guy is my husband KC McCay and I have had an incredible view of God at work. 

Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.” Mark 16:15    

Are you doing that?  Are you more or less?  Do you feel any responsibility?  I challenge you to be more than a collection of tissue and sinew. Don’t just leave a trail of DNA.
