TELL THE WORLD ABOUT JESUS
The Bible is unfolding before our very eyes! Time is running out as we know it and one day soon, Jesus will appear in the clouds to call His church home. Until then, we are called to follow the examples of Jesus. Jesus gave us what is called the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20): “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” Jesus gave this command to the apostles not long before he ascended to heaven. It is still our calling to follow in His absence and do the same —tell the world about Jesus.
Once we share the Good News about Jesus Christ, we are called to “make disciples.” The instructions to “go,” “baptize,” and “teach” are indirect commands and the “how” to make disciples. “Make disciples” is the primary command of the Great Commission. The “going”, “baptizing,” and “teaching” are the means by which we fulfill Jesus’ great command.Love God with all your heart and mind and soul, and love people enough to tell them about Jesus!
HIS LOVE AND MINE, Deborah
