Isaiah 6:8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”

Have you ever wondered why God needed someone to be His spokesperson? It was because He had a message for His people to hear at that specific time. You have to understand that whenever God wanted to get His will in the earth, he used mankind.

In this passage of scripture His will was to warn his people. It was a warning of future judgment because of their persistent sin. God warned them because He loved them. This warning was meant to lead them to repentance.

Every person is born a sinner and the wages of sin is death . Jesus came to earth with the same mission Isaiah accepted. To show the Love of God and the need for repentance. Just before Jesus ascended to heaven, He instituted the Great Commission, now if it is fully implemented, each new disciple, those washed in his blood, accepts the same mandate.

That mandate is Matthew 28:18–20 18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

“Who will go for us?” is a question God asks each believer. He’s asking that question as I speak, What will be your answer?

Today’s Challenge: Become a willing participant in God’s Great Commission.
