HIS COMMAND OUR MISSION

Posted on

“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.”              Matthew 28:19-20 NIV

 

Ten days after Jesus ascended back into Heaven, an amazing event took place, which we celebrate on the 24 of May – Pentecost. We read about it in Acts 1-2. The disciples, which numbered about 120 at the time, were praying, in one perfect agreement, in a room in Jerusalem. While they prayed, the Spirit that Jesus had promised to send to them fell on them and they were given His power to preach His message to a lost world. On that day, they preached the Gospel in Jerusalem and 3,000 people from all over the known world were saved. The disciples and their new converts took the Gospel message far and wide. Everywhere they went they told everyone they met that “Jesus died for our sins according to the Scripture; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.” Many thousands of people heard this good news and came to faith in Jesus, and the Gospel continued to spread. So much so that the disciples were accused of “turning the world upside down”, Acts 17:6. What they were doing was just what the Lord told them. They were simply sharing the Gospel. The Gospel message has not changed in over 2,000 years. We have the privilege of taking the same message the disciples preached to our world today. That is His command, and that is our mission!

 

PRAYER THOUGHT

Lord, thank You for the privilege of sharing Your message with others.

 

PRAYER FOR TODAY
