It was indeed an ambitious plan to spread the message of salvation globally, despite geographical distances, language barriers, and cultural diversity among nations. Reflecting on the Old Testament, we see God's design to establish a focal point for wisdom and salvation by selecting a nation (the Jews) and designating a city (Jerusalem) to serve as a beacon for nations drawn by the extraordinary acts of God through His people (Zechariah 8:20-23). However, in the New Testament, Jesus sends his disciples beyond Jerusalem to fulfill the commission by reaching out to the world.<\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"x-cell e1402-e14-v6 m12y-3f m12y-3g m12y-3m m12y-3n m12y-3p m12y-3q is-secondary-content\"><figure class=\"x-div e1402-e14-v7 m12y-4 m12y-5 m12y-9 m12y-a m12y-c m12y-d m12y-f m12y-g m12y-12\"><span class=\"x-image e1402-e14-v8 m12y-3w m12y-3x m12y-1v has-fade-mask-off\" style=\"--tco-dc12y-2t:50% 50%;--tco-dc12y-2w:normal;\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/central-states.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/pexels-cottonbro-8088497-scaled.jpg\" width=\"853\" height=\"1280\" alt=\"Image\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 853px;
