THE GREAT COMMISSION

19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 

20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I (King Jesus) am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

After Jesus’ resurrection, He showed Himself to His disciples.

He did this for two major reasons.

  • The first was for them to see Him and know that He wasn’t dead but alive, 1 Corinthians 15:6.
  • The second reason was to give them final instructions before leaving the earth.

What instruction was so important that He had to give them before leaving?

That instruction is in Mark 16:15-18.

Now that He had paid the ultimate sacrifice, Jesus said, “ Go and tell everyone around the world that they don’t have to perish in hell.

If they can just believe in Me, they will have power over sicknesses, demons, and poisons, and also end up in heaven rather than hell.”

This is the instruction He gave to His disciples before He left.

Are you one of His disciples?

If your answer is ‘Yes’,

have you been obeying this instruction?

Have you been preaching the gospel to sinners? Romans 10:14CEV says

I want you to ponder on the Bible verse above and on the fact that many people will go to hell if no one tells them about the gospel.

Ponder on the fact that some of your friends, neighbours, and colleagues may go to hell if you don’t tell them about Jesus Christ.

Give your friends and colleagues the opportunity to escape eternal damnation;

tell them about Jesus Christ.

Tell everyone you come in contact with about Jesus Christ.

Application – How will you feel if any of your friends went to hell because you did not tell them about Jesus Christ and the dangers of hell ?

Preach to them now!
