All Christians are Called

 No one who sought healing from Jesus was disappointed. No one who sought forgiveness was rejected.

The suffering of the sick aroused such compassion in Jesus that his stomach turned. Jesus healed, not just to confirm his identity as Saviour, but because he was spontaneously moved by love.

But Jesus was not satisfied with this. He knew that he was short of time, that he had to die on the cross. He had to train and equip his disciples.

Jesus was never satisfied with average religious results. He knew that all people, Jews and non-Jews, would suffer in hell without repentance and forgiveness.

… he wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 1 Tim 2:4 NET

Jesus knew that many would not believe and that countless people would never believe, but he wanted to save as many people as possible.

In Luke 9, he sent 12 disciples as evangelists.

When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases,
and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. Lk 9:1–2 NIV

Jesus then sent 70 disciples with the same mission.

Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.

And He was saying to them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into His harvest. Lk 10:1–2 NASB95

Heal the sick who are there and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ Lk 10:9 NIV

Jesus wanted to heal all the sick. Why? Out of deep compassion. He loves all people.

But Jesus saw far into the future. He knew that a gospel without many miraculous healings would save some, but when people are healed en masse, many more will come to faith.

We see this today in Africa, in Islamic countries, in South America and in Asia, where millions of Muslims, atheists, Hindus and witches convert to Jesus every year.

When Jesus sent the seventy disciples, he commanded them not only to proselytise, but to ask God to raise up more missionaries.

He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Lk 10:2 NIV

Twelve is good. Seventy is better. But there are countless people who need God's salvation.
God has raised up prominent preachers. I thank God for Billy Graham, Reinhard Bonnke and others. But there are billions of lost people in the world.

You and I are also called to proclaim God's kingdom with power.
