From the above article:
"As specific individuals, John the Baptist and Jesus have already come and gone, yet those of us who go out and witness with the gospel continue to wear their mantle, continuing the witness of the Church"
Just as Elisha received the mantle from Elijah - we who witness with the gospel are carrying the mantle of John the Baptist and Jesus...
Quoting: b4its2l8 Jesus made the greatest sacrifice anyone could for another person. Along with that sacrifice he made us witnesses to the gospel. Nevertheless, whatever we care to do with that is up to us - because God gave us a free will... ---- Rev 1:1...Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Although one does not have to preach the gospel to receive a special blessing - reading, hearing and heeding Gods' word will merit one a blessing: Rev 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein How can one know the gospel? A large part of it is the fact that God - sent his son to us. And his son was sacrificed for our sins: John 3:16 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. From got questions: What is the gospel? Small excerpt: Answer: The word gospel literally means “good news” and occurs 93 times in the Bible, exclusively in the New Testament. In Greek, it is the word euaggelion, from which we get our English words evangelist, evangel, and evangelical. The gospel is, broadly speaking, the whole of Scripture; more narrowly, the gospel is the good news concerning Christ and the way of salvation. The key to understanding the gospel is to know why it’s good news. To do that, we must start with the bad news. The Old Testament Law was given to Israel during the time of Moses (Deuteronomy 5:1). The Law can be thought of as a measuring stick, and sin is anything that falls short of “perfect” according to that standard. The righteous requirement of the Law is so stringent that no human being could possibly follow it perfectly, in letter or in spirit. Despite our “goodness” or “badness” relative to each other, we are all in the same spiritual boat—we have sinned, and the punishment for sin is death, i.e. separation from God, the source of life (Romans 3:23). In order for us to go to heaven, God’s dwelling place and the realm of life and light, sin must be somehow removed or paid for. The Law established the fact that cleansing from sin can only happen through the bloody sacrifice of an innocent life (Hebrews 9:22). [ link to www.gotquestions.org (secure)]
