Luke 24; Matthew 28:16-20; John 21: The Mission is Given


And there it is. The mission is given: “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

In it, we hear the echo of the promise to Abraham, “In you all the nations of the earth will be blessed.”The rescue has been completed, but the mission to all nations of the earth has just started. It's a misssion that extends all the way to me and you. We are to make disciples by baptisms and teaching. And we don't need to wait for a special “calling” from God to do this! He has already told us what we should be about! So be encouraged. We know what we are supposed to do. Take heart and do it! Because Jesus is with you!
