Gospel: Mark 16:15-20
These signs
will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons, they
will speak new languages. They will pick up serpents with their hands, and if
they drink any deadly thing, it will not harm them. They will lay hands on the
sick, and they will recover.”
Then the Lord
Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at
the right hand of God. But they went forth and preached everywhere, while the
Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through accompanying signs.

One of our foremost mission as follower of Jesus is to
share Him. If we have no idea on how we would share Him we can also live His
life. Evangelization is not only confined to sharing with our vocal words for we
can also evangelize by the way we live.
When the disciples were sent by Jesus through their
mission one of the unwritten commands of Jesus for them was to live His way of
life. For they wouldn’t be successful missioners for Jesus without immersing
their very lives in Jesus' way of life.
The challenge for us therefore is to share Jesus like
how the disciples shared Him. We also have to live the way of life of Jesus.
For without living the life of Jesus we will not become His true follower and
evangelizer.
Many in the church or outside of the church profess to
follow Jesus but they do not live His life. Thus, their evangelization is
superficial it doesn’t take root in the hearts of those who listen to them.
Therefore, an effective evangelizer is one who shares and lives the life of the
Lord.
Have you shared Jesus and are living Jesus' life of
humility and simplicity? – Marino J. Dasmarinas
