As we reflect on Christ's command to be his witnesses, we must remember that we must start where we are. His focus of the mission began at HOME in Jerusalem and not to the uttermost parts of the earth. If we are to expand our influence and see God enlarge our territory, we must be aware that He expects us to start right where we are. If we are going to see financial increase, we must be faithful with where we are right now before expecting to see increase. If we want greater responsibility at work, we must make sure that we are faithful in the things already assigned to us.
Jerusalem represents that starting point that God will expand as we ask God to increase us while we remain faithful right where we are.
