In the Great commission Jesus said '' go to the people of the earth and make them my disciples.Baptize them in the name of the father,the Son and the Holy Spirit,and teach them to do everything I have told you.''
This commission was given to every follower of Jesus, and it is not optional.These words of Jesus are not to pastors and missionaries alone.This is your commission from Jesus!
These words are not the Great Suggestion.If you are part of God's family,your mission is mandatory.
To ignore it would be disobedience.You may be unaware that God holds you responsible for the unbelievers who live around you.
The bible says ''You must warn them so they may live.If you don't warn the wicked to stop their evil ways, they will die in their sin.But I will hold you responsible for their death.''
You are the only Christian some people will ever know and your mission is to share Jesus with them.
Your mission is a rare privilege.ALTHOUGH IT IS A BIG RESPONSIBILITY, it is also an in credible
honor to be used by God .Paul said, ''God has given us the privilege of urging everyone to come to his favor and to be reconciled to him.''
Your mission involves two great privileges;working with god and representing him.We get to partner with God in the building of His kingdom.Paul callus ''co-laborers''and says, ''We are workers together with God'' Jesus has secured our salvation, put us as his family, given us his Spirit,and then made us his agents in the world.
What a privilege!The bible says, ''We're Christ's representatives .God uses us to persuade men and women to drop their differences and enter into God's work of making things right between them.We are speaking for christ himself now : become friends with God.''(2 corinthians 5:20 MSg)
