In many Christian circles, evangelism has come to have a very limited meaning. It's got a very narrow focus. It's restricted, to a particular style of witnessing and conversion experience, which most of us are familiar with. But according to what Jesus says this morning, evangelism means something much bigger. The good news of God's love and care, God's willingness to re-claim and redeem, is supposed to be shared with people.
People are our closest relatives, after all.
But the good news is meant to be shared with the whole creation. The whole world is supposed to be redeemed. All of the whole creation is supposed to be greeted, and re-claimed for God. It's the broadest vision of evangelism possible. It includes our economy.
