Preach Christ

"Therefore they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word.  Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them."  Acts 8:4-5.  Persecution against Christians had begun.  As a result, the disciples were scattered.  The reason for persecution was to silence them.  But, they went preaching.  Regardless of the circumstances against us, we are to preach the word.  Preaching is God's way to save humanity.  There will be enemies who wish to silence us.  However, our faith must be as these disciples.  We must preach Christ so that the world may believe and be saved.  The subject of our preaching must always be Christ.  Christ is the anointed one of God.  Christ was sent to save the world from sin.  Preaching against sin is preaching Christ.  Preaching repentance is preaching Christ.  The world will oppose such preaching.  But, our voices must continue to sound the greatest message that the world has ever heard and will ever hear.  These disciples did not scatter because of fear, but they scattered so that the message could be taken to those who had not heard.  Their sound went into all the world.  Our sound must go into all the world.  Go and preach Christ.
