We Can!

    While studying I stumbled about something about Jesus that I was aware of before but had not heard much about before. Here's what I found. 

"Jesus lived out his life within an area roughly 50 miles wide and 150 miles long,..."
 Elwell, W. A., & Beitzel, B. J. (1988). Luke, Gospel Of. In Baker encyclopedia of the Bible (Vol. 2, p. 1362). Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House.

I found that to be very interesting!  Jesus touched the world and it didn't take him traveling across seas to do so. He touched the lives of many, then those people touched others lives, and then those people touched other folks lives!  And here we are today!

 

    We are to be a part of that process. We are called to do so!  The Great Commission... Think about this for all those familiar with Temple Tx. If Jesus would have been born in Temple TX he would not have traveled farther West than the Harker Heights/Killeen area.  He would not have traveled farther East than Rosebud/Lott area.  He would not have traveled farther South than the Bastrop area.  And he would not have traveled farther North than around the Hillsboro area!  A log of times we don't think that we can simply because we won't! 

 

    Google Maps says that it would take me 9 hours to walk from Temple to Killeen, TX.  In my car that's an easy drive!  Online it takes a couple of seconds to reach someone in another country!  Let's get to work and help change the world!
