Suppose
one day at work your boss came up to you and said to you “go.” "Go?" "Yes, go." If you boss told you to go, you would need some
clarity, some specificity. Go
where? Go when? Go why? Good questions, because how can you go unless
you know where you’re going, when you’re going, and why you’re going? If you boss said “go,” there would be
additional, and important, information that you would need in order to commence
the mission that your boss was sending you on.
In Matthew chapter 28, after Jesus rose
from the grave, He met with His disciples in Galilee one last time, and He gave
them a mission. In verse nineteen Jesus
told the disciples “Go.” But Jesus didn't stop there. He gave them the additional,
and important information that they needed to commence the mission.
Go therefore and make disciples of all the
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, teaching them to
observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even
to the end of the age.” (Matt 28:19-20)
This Sunday we’ll be looking closely at this
mission that Jesus gave to the disciples, because in truth, Jesus didn't just
give that mission to the eleven disciples.
Jesus gave that mission to all
disciples. If you are a disciple, otherwise known as a “Christian,” then Jesus
was also speaking to you! From that
moment forward, every follower of Jesus Christ has a mission, directly from the
Lord Jesus Christ, to GO.
Join us this Sunday, at 9:30 & 11:30
(new times), as we conclude our “Dawn of New Life” series: Chapter 4 – GO! Share your new life.
...till the whole world hears,
Pastor Clay
