“Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me.’” Isa 6:8 NKJV
LET’S TELL THE WHOLE WORLD ABOUT JESUS
One of the greatest disasters of history took place in1271. That year, Niccolo and Matteo Polo, the father and uncle of Marco Polo, visited Kublai Khan, who was considered the world ruler—with authority over all China, India, and the entire East. Kublai Khan was attracted to the story of Christianity as Niccolo and Matteo told it to him. He said to them, “You shall go to your high priest and tell him on my behalf to send me a hundred men skilled in your religion and I shall be baptized. And when I am baptized, all my barons and great men will be baptized and their subjects will receive baptism, too. And so there will be more Christians here than there are in your parts of the world.” But amazingly, nothing was done in response to what Kublai Khan requested. Only after thirty years was a handful of missionaries sent. Too few, too late! Christian leaders in the West apparently didn’t have the vision to see the East won to Christ. The mind boggles at the possible ways the world might be different today if thirteenth-century China, India, and the other areas of Asia had become Christian. Now it’s up to us! You say, “What can I do? I’m only one person.” You can do three things: (1) “Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest” (Mt 9:38 NKJV). (2) Give, so that the unsaved can be reached with the gospel (see 2Co 9:7). (3) If God calls you, go! “Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me.’”
