P. 235
Before His ascension to Heaven, He said to
them, “Ye shall receive power, after that the
Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be
witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in
all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the
uttermost part of the earth.” “And, lo, I am
with you alway, even unto the end of the
world.” Acts 1:8; Matthew 28:20.
You have been witnesses, He said, of My life
of self-sacrifice in behalf of the world. You
have seen that all who come to Me,
confessing their sins, I freely receive. All who
will, may be reconciled to God, and have
everlasting life.
To you, My disciples, I commit this message
of mercy. It is to be given to all nations,
tongues, and peoples.
Go to the farthest part of the habitable globe;
but know that My presence will be there.
