In less than 30 years, Paul saw the prophecy of Jesus fulfilled as the Kingdom message was preached throughout the known world, described in Colossians 1:23. Today, that same message is being shared in 240 countries by Christ's followers. Are you participating in this important work?
In a little less than 30 years, what amazing prophecy had Paul seen fulfilled, and how does this compare with our time?
An apostle of Christ under house arrest “preaching the Kingdom of God” to all who visited him—what a heartwarming conclusion to the dynamic book of Acts! In the first chapter, we read the commission that Jesus gave his followers when he said: “You will receive power when the holy spirit comes upon you, and you will be witnesses of me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the most distant part of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) Now, less than 30 years later, the Kingdom message had been “preached in all creation under heaven.” (Col. 1:23) What a testimony to the power of God’s spirit!—Zech. 4:6.Today, that same spirit has empowered the remaining ones of Christ’s brothers, along with their companions of the “other sheep,” to continue “bearing thorough witness concerning the Kingdom of God” in 240 lands! (John 10:16; Acts 28:23) Are you having a full share in that work?
