b'One of the most famous Bible verses is Acts 1:8. Jesus is sending His disciples to Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria. Then Jesus adds, \\u201cand to the ends of the earth.\\u201d What exactly does Jesus mean by \\u201cends of the earth\\u201d? Is He speaking about only the areas that were known in His day...or also of unknown lands around the globe? Earlier, Jesus used the phrase \\u201cthe ends of the earth\\u201d to speak of the Queen of the South\\u2019s nation 1,200 miles away. He also uses the phrase to describe all peoples everywhere. Then right before His ascension Jesus speaks the words in Acts 1:8. So, what does Jesus mean when He says to be His witnesses to \\u201cthe ends of the earth\\u201d? He means it literally. He means all around the globe to every nation, starting first with the Jews in Jerusalem and Judea, second with the Samaritans, and then anywhere and everywhere else. Let\\u2019s never forget that Jesus Himself made \\u201cthe ends of the earth\\u201d and knew them extremely well. His was a vast vision. And His Good News truly has reached every nation. Not everyone everywhere yet, but these are exciting days with advanced means of travel, and technology we can utilize. I believe that now, more than ever, it\\u2019s time to reach our world for Jesus Christ. This is Andrew Palau.'
