Countless People
I am sitting in the living room watching the Opening Ceremony for the 2008 Olympics. About 2 hours of Chinese culture and theatrics, with over 10,000 people performing. All in all, pretty impressive stuff. But it made me think of the country of China, with over 1.3 billion people. That is 1/5 of the world’s population! And yet a very small percentage of them are Christians. With those daunting figures, our mission as Christians may sometime seem impossible. However, we are called to this imposing task by Christ Himself (Matthew 28). Nothing reminds you of the Great Commission more than seeing every nation represented at once.
By the way, I will be staying up for many nights checking out the more obscure sports, including Badminton, Sailing, and Table Tennis.
