How many years ago was this written? So if the Word has been spreading ever since, why the need to continue spreading? Shouldn't it have taken by now? A few thoughts about that, and why we need to continue to spread the gospel:
* Today's world is a different world-- different people, different understandings, different values, etc.
* People forget who they are. Generations are skipped, and people lose their bearings. We see this in our Isaiah readings we're in... we read "return faithless people"... we need to remember that when a story is lost, multiple and successive generations can be lost with it.
*There are always people in need of hope and life. Through faith, we find that.
Don't stop telling the story, even as it continues to spread.
Readings: Jeremiah 2:31- 4:18; Colossians 1:1-20; Psalm 76:1-12; Proverbs 24:21-22
