THE GREAT COMMISSION AND ITS FULFILLING----------------------------------------------------------- 1 of 3

Introduction:
We looked at our lives from God’s perspective that He wanted us to exchange our lives for the eternal things of God, rather  than for the temporal things on earth. We saw that the only three things that are eternal are GOD, His WORD, and the SOULS of men and women. These three eternal things are best stated for us in a command that Jesus gave to His disciples. Today, we call that command the “Great Commission.” If we give ourselves to God, He will have us exchange our lives for the Great Commission. The commission demands that we disciple men and women of all nations. The way we disciple is by teaching all that Jesus commands which is found in the Word of God. Consequently, the three eternal things are best understood by us in light of the Great Commission.

The Great Commission
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him;  but some doubted. Then Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “all authority has been given to Me in heaven and in earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, ever to the end of the age.” Amen.

Matthew 28:16-20
