The Greatness of the Great Commission
June 27, 2021 Speaker: John Ferguson Series: Re-Formation
Scripture: Matthew 28:16–20
In this study, we look at the well-known last words of Jesus recorded for us in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 28:16-20:
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
And we'll learn that the Greatness of the Great Commission includes:
- All authority in heaven and earth has been given to Jesus
- All nations are to be discipled in Jesus' new way of being human
- All that Jesus has taught his disciples, they are to teach others
- All of our days Jesus is with us as his disciples
- All of his disciples are included in this commission and promise
There's a lot packed in to this Great Commission. Here are a few resources to help us marinate in and participate in this:
