The Great Commission is recorded at the end of Matthew’s Gospel, but what is the commission?

  • Summary

    • Why?: The Great Commission is recorded at the end of Matthew's Gospel, but what is the commission?
    • What?: In Matthew's Gospel, chapter 28, verses 19 and 20, Matthew records Jesus' Great Commission for the church. Jesus said to His first disciples: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you." There is only one main verb in the Commission and it is not "go." Instead, it is to make disciples, that is, make disciples of Jesus. So the Great Commission is disciples who make disciples who make disciples…
    • So What?: Is your teaching ministry about making fact-filled fans of your teaching OR about making disciples of Jesus whose hearts desire to be obedient to Jesus by making even more disciples?
    • So What Now?: Commit, today, to make every lesson you teach an exercise in obedience to the Great Commission to make multiplying disciples of our Lord.
