Main Thought
Everyone wants to make an impact. As Christians, we get to make an impact that’s felt for all eternity! Jesus sends us out to go as the Church, His representatives in the world. Revealing Jesus to the world is a part of every Christian’s purpose while living on earth. We should also go according to the Great Commission. The Great Commission is a command that comes with a basic plan of action. We engage nations, or “people groups,” for Christ. There are big “people groups,” like countries, and small ones, like groups of friends. We’re called to baptize people who respond to the gospel and teach them to obey God. This is a tall task - but we can go with confidence. Jesus promised to be with us as we set out to answer His call.
Main Passage
“Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.””. Matthew 28:16-20 ESV
