Matthew 28:16-20

Most everyone is familiar with this passage... known as the "Great Commission." After Jesus died on the cross, He appeared to many. He instructed the disciples to go to a mountain in Galilee. Before He ascended back into heaven, He left them with these words found in Matthew 28. "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Because we love God and worship Him, our natural outflow is to share and show that with/to others. Because Christ left us "instructions" of what His plan was (which included "all nations"), we are doing what we are doing! The really cool thing about this whole process in "going" is that it takes everyone involved to make it happen. All of us are involved in fulfilling the Great Commission! Have a wonderful day!
