Commisions

Does it seem to you that everyone has a concern for the animals of the world, and if they are not willing to take action on their behalf at least they think someone else should? It is as if they were given dominion over the earth to replenish and subdue it. This was my commission to all humanity from the beginning. Can you see it present even in those who do not believe in me? This responsibility is hard-wired into them. Why else would they care about exotic animals that they will probably never see and certainly never domesticate? You can see this impulse in yourself as well, but I have given you a still greater commission, to preach the gospel to every creature.
