What Is the Great Commission?
By Real Truth. Real Quick
“And Jesus
came up and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in
heaven and on earth.
“’Go
therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of
the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I
commanded you, and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’” Matthew
28:18-20
I had the privilege of preaching on
this passage. What I saw as the “all
that I commanded you” is found in Mark 12:28-31. That is His message of the ‘Greatest
Commandment’ and His clear message (known as the Great Commission) as He was
about to leave the Disciples. This seems
something very important to consider.
“And one
of the scribes came and heard them arguing, and recognising that He had
answered them well, asked Him, ‘What commandment is the foremost of all?’
“Jesus
answered, ‘The foremost is, ‘Hear, O Israel!
The Lord our God is one Lord; and you shall love the Lord your God with
all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all
your strength.’ The second is this, ‘You
shall love your neighbour as yourself.’
There is no other commandment greater than these.’”
Take care with love, especially
His! Your servant and friend in Christ,
who still prays for you each morning.
