Matthew chapter 28 verses 18 through 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, the Great Commission, which is our central mission, like the

mission that governs our lives as followers of Jesus.

And if we're not careful we can lose sight of the centrality of this mission,

especially amidst a political election

where there can be so much concern about this candidate or that party or this outcome

that we can lose sight of what is most vital, urgent, significant.

And that's the people right around us that we interact with every day are on a road that leads to

either everlasting joy with God or everlasting suffering away from the love of God, Not just an eternity, but people around us right now on this earth

who have a God-sized vacuum in their hearts that only the love, grace, mercy of God through the gospel can fill.

And so Jesus has told us, go and not make

partisan politics our ultimate aim. No, go and make disciple-making among all the nations.

Not go. among all the nations.

Not go and make political parties and candidates and politics in your nation, your ultimate aim.

No, go and make disciple-making among all the nations,

the ultimate mission of your life. So God we pray that you would refocus us

right now like even in this moment and today and our lives and our families as your church and our

nation whatever nation you're in whether you live in the United States or some other country God help us to be more concerned
