The last thing that Jesus asked of us before he ascended, was that we go to all peoples and nations and preach his presence.22 However, that must be understood precisely in an incarnational, not theistic, way. The challenge is not, as the woman just quoted makes clear, to pass out religious tracts, establish religious television networks to make Jesus known, or even to try to baptize everyone into Christianity. The task is to radiate the compassion and love of God, as manifest in Jesus, in our faces and our actions.
