Mark 16:15 - "Go ye" - When Jesus tells the apostles to go He specifies who is to go. "Ye". When God gives us a command He does not expect us to "pass the torch", He expects "ME" to do it. Too many Christians say "o.k. Lod, I will pass the message along to the pastor or the deacons and let them know what You said." NO, NO. We are to say "Yes Lord, I will go." We MUST stop putting off, while the world goes to Hell.

Mark 16:15 - "He said...Go" - When Jesus spoke to His apostles the first word required action, "Go". After 2,000 years that one word still echos in our hearts. "Go." Christ expects us to take action for His kingdom. We must grasp the importance of this action. We SAY we love the world, but how will they know unless we Christians get up from our "lazyboy's" & take action. "Who will Go?" "Here am I Lord send me."
