The language of the evangelism:
• “A righteous one understands the soul of his animal; but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel.” (Pro 12:10)
When Jesus gave His great commission, He was clear:
• “And He said to them, Go into all the world, proclaim the gospel to *all the creation*.” (Mar 16:15).
Observe that Jesus didn’t said to proclaim the gospel to “all the people”, but to “all the creation”. You can be asking: “but I will preach the gospel to plants and animals?”.
Yeah. See what the Psalmist enjoined:
• “Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.” (Psa 150:6)
But, how can I preach the gospel to them, as well as to people with vegetative life, mental disease, in coma, full of drugs, etc.? It’s always good to recollect Romans 9:16:
• “So then it is not of the one willing, nor of the one running, but of God, the One showing mercy.” (Rom 9:16).
And, although Jesus is the Word (John 1:1), this doesn’t mean that He is the word spoken with the mouth. He can speak through the language of the spirit, that is to say, the love that come out of a pure heart and a good conscience, and faith unfeigned (1Ti 1:5).
The love is a universal language, recognized for all living being (and until for nonliving beings). Take a look at this verses:
• “For you shall *be in covenant with the stones of the field; and the beasts of the field* shall be at peace with you.” (Job 5:23).
• “And in that day *I will cut a covenant for them, with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and with the creeping things of the ground*. And I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.” (Hos 2:18).
• “Who has cut a channel for the flood, or a way for the thunderclaps; to cause rain to fall on the earth where no man is, a wilderness and no man in it; to *satisfy the desolate and waste ground*, and to cause the source of grass to spring forth?” (Job 38:25-27).
• “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the expanse proclaims His handiwork.” (Psa 19:1).
• “He appoints the number of the stars; He calls them all by their names.” (Psa 147:4)
• “Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him, all stars of light. Praise Him, heavens of heavens, and waters that are above the heavens. Let praise be to Jehovah from the earth, the sea-monsters, and all deeps; *fire and hail, snow and vapor, stormy wind fulfilling His Word*, mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars, beasts and all cattle, creeping things and birds of the wing,” (Psa 148:3,4,7-9).
So, did you thought, for any moment, that it is difficult (or even unfeasible) to make plants, animals or even unliving beings hear the Creator’s voice and obey? As you could see, all of them hear the word of the Creator, fulfill His desire, praise Him, give thanks to Him and accept His alliance.
Only the human being is froward to the point of saying to Him “no” or “wait” (this when they didn’t try to oblige Him to do things carrying out campaigns, fasts, or even in their prayer using Jesus’ name as if it was a magic formula which can DETERMINE His way of acting).
Finally, have a good day leaving Jesus use your spirit and soul to convey His message to all hearts. You can start from your pet animals. Can you be sure that, many times, it is easier to understand what they are going through (and vice-versa) than what is passing in the mind of many human beings.
