As the rays of the sun penetrate to the remotest corners of the globe, so God designs that the light of the gospel shall extend to every soul upon the earth. If the church of Christ were fulfilling the purpose of our Lord, light would be shed upon all that sit in darkness and in the region and shadow of death. Instead of congregating together and shunning responsibility and cross bearing, the members of the church would scatter into all lands, letting the light of Christ shine 43 out from them, working as He did for the salvation of souls, and this "gospel of the kingdom" would speedily be carried to all the world.

Ligesom Solens stråler trænger igennem og når ud til de mest afsides beliggende egne på jorden, således er det Guds hensigt, at evangeliets lys skal nå ud til hver eneste sjæl i verden. Dersom Kristi menighed fuldbyrdede vor Herres forsæt, ville ly set skinne på alle, der sidder i mørket og i dødens land og skygge. I stedet for at slutte sig sammen i klynger og undvige ansvar og kors ville menighedens medlemmer sprede sig ud over alle lande og lade Kristi lys skinne videre ud fra dem, medens de virkede for sjæles frelse, ligesom han gjorde. Da ville »dette rigets evangelium« i hast blive bragt ud til hele verden.
