Tootsie Rolls for all

 Our kids can smell tootsie rolls.  Every Sunday at church there's an elderly gentleman who hands out tootsie rolls to all the children.  Last week he walked into nursery and dropped a few tootsie rolls on the counter.  Ellie immediately stopped what she was doing and said, "Mommy I have one of those?"  Jeannette replied, "those are not for babies."  (No, we do not give tootsie rolls to our two year olds)  Ellie raised her hands and declared with all her heart, "those candies are for all peoples!"

Yeah, it's kinda like the gospel. 

This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.  --  Matthew 24:14
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes.  --  Romans 1:16
It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation.  --  Romans 15:20
We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us.  --  I Thessalonians 2:8
