Developing A Biblical World View
By this statement, Jesus revealed it was His plan that the Gospel go to the whole world.
Read about the cleansing of the temple in Mark 11:15-17. Jesus again emphasized the world as He said:
. . . Is it not written, My house shall be called of all nations the house of prayer?. . . (Mark 11:17)
Today, many of our centers of worship have departed from God's purpose. We need Jesus to cleanse us once again so we can fulfill His plan that. . .
. . . Mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people [all nations]. (Isaiah 56:7)
