Go therefore and make disciples of all nations
Matthew 28:19
The Great Commission - These were probably among Jesus’ very last words to His disciples. Last words tend to be very important words. It was really a few short words designed to summarize Christ’s own life. Jesus was saying to the disciples that for the rest of their lives they are to do what he had modeled in His own life.
Why “great”? The commission is “great” because it has to do with the gospel.
This commission is an everyday commission, given to every believer for every moment of their life. It is every Christian’s task. Some may argue that Jesus gave the commission only to the Eleven, His closet companions. But, Jesus gave this charge to every Christian follower! Below you'll see some individuals & families who've committed their lives to this great call to make disciples!
