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. Oh, the great commission. And it is a great commission. What words, like if these are

familiar to you, I think about our church family, we say these words to each other every Sunday

when we're about to scatter from our worship gatherings so they can become over familiar

if we're not careful, but just think about what Jesus just said. All authority in heaven and

earth has been given to me. What a statement. He's Lord over everything. He's Lord over life. He's

Lord over death. He's Lord over sin. He's Lord over death. He's Lord over sin. He's Lord over suffering. He's Lord over Satan. He's Lord over every single person on the planet. He's Lord over history. He's Lord over it all. And we know Him as Lord. For all who are in relationship with God through faith in Jesus,

we know him personally, the one who has all authority in heaven on earth. You know him today.

So go, therefore go, and make disciples of all the nations. What a commission. Go throughout all the

world to all the peoples, all the ethnic groups of the

world. And lead people to know Jesus. Lead people to trust in Jesus as Lord. Make disciples of all

the nations, baptizing them, leading them to unite their lives with Jesus. Total transformation

of who they are. Helping them, teaching them to unite their lives with Jesus, total transformation of who they are,

helping them, teaching them to observe all of his words that we have, knowing that he is with us,

in us, by his spirit, dwelling inside you and me today, always, to the end of the age with us.

Oh, this is your commission today and every day.
