With today’s medicine and palliative care, we seldom hear the last words of those that are dying. But in the past, there have been some recorded with my favorite being from Sojourner Truth. She died singing “Swing, low sweet chariot,” And then saying, “I go to prepare a place for you.”

 

The famous last words that we as Christians should be concentrating on are the ones that Jesus gave us before he ascended to heaven where He now sits at the right hand of God, the Father. His instructions to us as he left were GO AND TELL.

 

As we enter this new year with our new theme GO AND TELL, I pray that each lady will take to heart that this is our commission. As we go, we are to spread the light of the Lord Jesus Christ through words and actions. May we ever be conscious of those around us who need to hear the gospel and to be shown the kindness and compassion of our Lord Jesus Christ! Start now, start today, and throughout each day of your life, GO AND TELL!
