“I’m afraid that I might wake up with a witch’s crossbones in my nose.”
Translation: “I’m afraid that it would be much too dangerous for me.”
There’s no question our world has become a much more dangerous place to live since 9-11. It’s no wonder that people are more hesitant about traveling to different countries nowadays.
Still, if we are called to “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations” (Matt. 28: 19-20 ESV), can we really use that as an excuse not to go?
I hardly think so. If Jesus would leave his 99 sheep to find one lost sheep, he would do it, no matter what the cost. Therefore, we can and must assume that Jesus would expect us to be willing to do the same.
Besides, in Matthew 10:19 tells us, “Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”
And in verse 29-31, it say, “Are not two sparrow sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”
Therefore, we can no longer use excuse #9 as a valid excuse.
