Study

Read Luke 24:36–48. (Part 4 of 4)

This story shows the progression of the gospel from the local starting point to a global finish line.

1. Read Luke 24:47. Like a giant relay race, what started in Jerusalem has traveled all the way to your heart. But it's not supposed to end there. It is meant for the nations. They are waiting for you to pass the gospel baton to them. Describe where you are in the process of handing the gospel baton to unreached peoples. 
   ​​
2. Read Luke 24:48. The responsibility of saved is to share their story (witness). ​It can be helpful to use key words as bullet points when sharing our spiritual journey. What four words describe your journey from unbelief to today?
