The Great Commission or Suggestion?
Matt 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 “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, 20 “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.” Amen.
These are some of Jesus' last words before He ascended into heaven, after His Resurrection. We call this the great commission to Jesus' followers. Somewhere over time, the gravitas of this commission has been put on the back burner. Jesus did not give up His work here on earth but just commissioned His followers to His work. What makes anyone think that they are to be spectators in such an important calling? I can only speak for the power of the Spirit in my life to radically cause me to change course. I went from the devils commission to Jesus' commission and haven't regretted one moment of it. I Him to be with me but am I with Him on these things? The God who created you also has commissioned you to bring heaven here on earth. No excuses! No complaints! Just simply say, here I am send me. As a born again believer, you have the cure to sin, Jesus Christ. It would be a great dis justice to keep Him to ourselves when multitudes are marching into eternal damnation every second.
Yes, Jesus is with us but not for our stupid petty worldly ambitions that mean nothing for eternity's sake. I want my life to count and the best way for that to take place is listen and obey this command. I go because He said so...
