**Mark 13:10** — *"And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all the nations."*
Jesus speaks these words mid-prophecy — surrounded by talk of wars, earthquakes, and the collapse of temples. Yet here, tucked inside apocalyptic urgency, is a *commission*, not a calamity.
The word "must" carries weight. In Greek, *dei* — a divine necessity, a covenant obligation woven into the fabric of history itself. This is not suggestion. It is trajectory.
Every generation of the Church has been a steward of that trajectory. The Moravians in the 1700s understood it so deeply they sold themselves into slavery to reach enslaved people with the gospel. That is *dei* made flesh.
Scripture reminds us that proclamation is not reserved for the platform or the pulpit — it moves through the faithful, the willing, the obedient.
Walk with that word today: *must*. Let it settle into whatever ordinary moment you occupy, and consider what faithfulness to it might look like from exactly where you stand.
