On Mission - 1

Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

So the very last thing Jesus told his disciples was to be missionaries. So why do we think its some kind of optional extra? Its a command, and what is so so wonderfully amazing is that its a command, not based on our ability or skills or talents, its a command based on the fact that Jesus has been given all authority. Its his immeasurable power that will do the work, and spread his word. But we are to go. Be that to the end of the street, the other side of town or further afield. How blessed are we to have the nations on our doorsteps? We don't even have to travel to be able to make disciples of all nations.

So go!
