DCLM Daily Manna Monday June 22nd 2026 Preach The Gospel

The gospel can break chains in prison cells, restore dignity to the ashamed, bring enemies to their knees in reconciliation, and turn the hardest heart into a dwelling place for love. No philosophy, government, or movement in history has changed the world like the message of Christ crucified and risen. It is not just good words or advice; it is good news with the power to convict and convert the souls of men.

In today’s text, Christ appeared to the disciples after His resurrection. He upbraided them for their unbelief and charged them to go and preach the gospel. He told them that while some will believe their words, others would not. Those who believe will experience signs and wonders. They shall cast out devils, speak in tongues, take up serpents, be immune to poison and heal the sick. Soon after speaking these words, Christ ascended to heaven and sat on the right hand of God. On earth, the disciples promptly obeyed the Lord’s command and put the gospel on the road.

The commission to preach the gospel did not expire with the early Church. It is not reserved for pastors or missionaries alone; it belongs to every follower of Jesus Christ. Regrettably, in a world full of distractions, many believers have gone silent on the gospel. In a culture increasingly hostile to the truth, the tendency is to hide faith behind politeness. But the gospel is not something to be hoarded. It is a lifeline, not a lifestyle brand. When we share the good news, heaven partners with us, just as it did with the apostles.

The burden of prompt obedience lies on every believer concerning spreading the good news. We must not allow other activities, fear or inadequacy to silence our voice. The power of the gospel does not depend on our eloquence, but it flows from our obedience. We are to go, teach and disciple new converts, not through any new idea, but the old, rugged truth embedded in Christ’s saving gospel.
