Fulfilling the Great Commission

10/28/2024

0 Comments

 
We get the Great Commission from Matthew 28:19-20 which says,” 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.” Does this mean that every Christian should drop what they’re doing and fly off to the far corner of the world and start spreading the good news? The reality is the imperative in this command is to make disciples, the go is implied as part of what making disciples entails. Some of us go to foreign countries, some go to office spaces, some go to the local coffee shop. To fulfill the great commission isn’t to just throw out the seeds of salvation but to make disciples. Evangelism is part of the process but not the whole. Christ built his church for the work of making disciples. Discipleship isn’t just always one on one, but in triads, small groups, and even big groups. It’s not about just teaching, but modeling, correcting, and loving others towards obedience in Christ. God has gifted us in different ways to do this, and it often requires us stepping outside our comfort zone. The great news is we are the body of Christ and not alone in making disciples. What I love about sharing my testimony, handing out a tract, or preaching the gospel from the pulpit isn’t that my work is done but now the work has just begun. Why do I say that? Because He is with us always, even to the end of the age!
