We are committed to live the Great Commission.

 

Jesus Christ, King and Head of the church, gave us his Great Commission before he ascended to heaven, and we read it in Matthew 28: 18 – 20:

“Then Jesus came to them and said, “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.”

 

God still has no other plan than for us to be instrumental in pouring out his grace in the lives of people and of nations.

He is counting on people like you and me to tell others about his love for us in Christ. He wants you and me and everyone else to proclaim the Gospel.

He is counting on us to find the lost sheep.

He is counting on us to be the welcoming arms that receive the prodigal child back home.

 

When Jesus commissioned the church to go and make disciples of all nations, he was speaking as the One who has all power and authority in heaven and on earth. He still is speaking to us as the One who has the power to give eternal life, establishing his New Kingdom in the lives of his people.

 

What Jesus chooses to do with his sovereign authority and power is to count on his friends and his church to share the Good News of his love, redemption and victory with everyone and every nation. What Jesus desires is more reborn passionate followers to, with a sense of urgency, tell of his love and resurrection, that all may believe in him and become God’s children.

What incredible love and grace. What an honour and privilege to be part of God’s plan of salvation and justice.

 

Christ chooses to be with us. He is guarding us, protecting us and sharing his power with us when we stand together in our commitment to be part of the loving family of Christ-followers who work as his disciple making brothers and sisters. No matter where we go and no matter what we face, Christ is right there beside us saying: "Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." (Mat 28:20)

 

The Gospel of Jesus Christ was freely and graciously given to us that we may selflessly stand together to make disciples of all nations, being fervent ambassadors of God’s saving grace at work in our troubled and broken world.
