- Jesus had just given His disciples a commission.
- A commission is an instruction, command, or duty given to a person or group of people.
- In other words, “Here are your orders”
- We call it the Great Commission because it is a very, big task or assignment.
- Jesus has just said, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
- All Nations!
- Basically, go anywhere and everywhere and tell everyone what I have done for you and in you!
- Jesus has saved you from spiritual death.
- He has changed the course of your life.
- He has given you hope in the midst of hopelessness.
- He has redeemed you by His own blood.
- Jesus personally purchased your salvation.
- He brought you out of darkness and placed you in His marvelous light.
- By simply turning from “Your way" and choosing "His way" and saying “Yes” to Jesus, He says, “Forgiven!”
- He says, to all those who were once trapped in bondage and slavery to sin, He says “FREE”
- John 8:36 says, "So if the Son sets you free, you are truly free.”
- So, if this sounds like good news to you, and if you have recieved this free gift of Salvation, then wouldn’t you want to share it?
- Don’t you want others set free as well?
- Jesus is simply telling us to help people to learn of Him and know about Him.
- Help people to believe.
- Help them to know how to obey My Words.
- But the most amazing part is this, He says “I am with you always!”
- The One who has all authority…
- The one who has all power and absolute rule…
- The One who is doing the commissioning, Has said that He is with you to do it.
- He is with you…TODAY!
- He is with you to accomplish all that He has commissioned you to do.
- He is with you tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that!
- He is with you always, to the very end.
- Because He is with you, it gives you the ability to take your eyes off of your circumstances and put them on Him.
- Nothing is to Big for Him.
- Nothing is to difficult…Nothing is impossible. - Here is a very comforting word
- “He is with you, today.”
- No matter where you go or what you do, He is with you.
- Trust in Him, Rely on Him….walk with Him.
- He is with you to the very end!
- Have a great weekend!
