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.” Matthew 28:18-20

Did you know in a recent survey, the majority of professing Christians did not know the term "great commission" or its meaning?

If you are 40+ years old and raised in the church, chances are you familiar with the verses known as the great commission and what they mean. But those younger in age or even new in their faith may not know which verses it refers to or have never heard the term.

If you search for the term great commission in the actual scriptures, you won't find it. Surprised? Jesus never coined the term.

Today on the blog, we are exploring the passage in Matthew 28 known as The Great Commission and what it means for us today.

Head over to the website (link in comments) and read the blog article, then come back here and let's chat: What does it look like to you to share Jesus? What are some ideas you can give us on how to show the love of Jesus to others?

Ever wonder what the Bible has to say about sharing the gospel of Jesus with others? This month's Bible reading plan will help you dig into Scripture and find out what it means to GO TELL the good news.

BEYOND THE SHADOW

This may be the end of Jesus’ journey to the cross, but our journey beyond its shadow is just beginning.

So, what’s next?

Well, the disciples felt the same as the days passed from His resurrection. They were unsure if they were supposed to remain together or go back to their old lives.

But Jesus showed up in the midst of their uncertainty and continued to teach them. (Acts 1:3)

Right before He ascended He left them one last message:

“And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’” Matthew 28:18‐20

The next steps for us are the same as it was for the disciples: share Jesus with everyone!

Not sure how?

Well there are suggestions listed on page 124.

But, I’d love to hear from you:

1: How will you share Jesus with others over the next few weeks?
2: What was your favorite part of this study?

"In the Shadow of the Cross: Day 21 HE IS ALIVE

"In the Shadow of the Cross: Day 21

HE IS ALIVE

Easter Sunday not only brings the good news of Jesus’ resurrection, but it also delivers the message of salvation from a God who knows your name.

""Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, And before you were born I consecrated you.” Jeremiah 1:5

He knew your sins and He sent His only Son to suffer and die on the cross anyway.

Why? Because He deeply loves you.

“But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8"

"In the Shadow of the Cross: Day 20 “There sit

"In the Shadow of the Cross: Day 20

“There sit the disciples, in silence and grief. Their friend is gone. They feel the loss. The emptiness.
The heaviness of the horrific sights of the previous day.

And the one person who can make it all better, who can comfort them?

Gone. Dead. Buried.

There is silence.

No revelation of wisdom.
No parable tales to explain the events.
No words of comfort.
No looking into the face of God to search for signs of peace around
the corners of His eyes.

Just a gaping, Jesus‐shaped hole in their hearts—and deafening silence.

Oh, but what they did not know was just because they could not see Him, hear Him, touch Him, didn’t mean He was quieted. He was at work behind the scenes; waging war on death and capturing the keys to the grave.

While they were grieving His passing, unsure of their present, He was securing their eternity. He was completing the plan He had for them—and for us.

He wasn’t worried about His friends’ momentary worry, fear, or doubt. He had already prepared them for this. He knew they would feel this way, so He had spent much time giving them the words they would need to carry them through the quiet.

When the silence of Saturday surrounds your heart and you can’t hear His voice, remember He is still working for your eternal good.

He has prepared you for the days of silence. You already have His promises found in His Word.

You already know victory is coming.

With shouts of joy and tears of gladness—#SundayIsComing!”

"In the Shadow of the Cross: Day 19 ”Our Savior

"In the Shadow of the Cross: Day 19

”Our Savior as He hangs between Heaven and hell—bloody and beaten beyond recognition—forsaken by the Father, looks down at us and says:

“It is finished.”

No more sin.
No more separation from God.
No more eternal death

“It is finished.”

No more guilt.
No more shame.
No more condemnation.
No more unforgiveness.

“It is finished. I have completed My purpose. I have taken your place. The price for your sin has been paid. The perfect sacrifice has been given; perfect blood has been shed.”

Scriptures from Genesis through to the Gospels foretell of Jesus’ death and resurrection. The entire Bible points us to Him, to this moment, the biggest promise God has ever made—His Son, the fulfillment of the law, the sacrifice needed to forgive sin. Every moment since the Garden of Eden has pointed to this day. Every book, every chapter, every verse, has been a path leading to the cross.

The shadow began in the beginning with Adam and Eve and all of creation has been walking this path, closer to the Savior, waiting for this moment.

At the foot of the cross, staring up at our Savior, we are surrounded in complete darkness. The earth shakes violently as the Creator takes His last breath.

It is finished.

Jesus has fulfilled His purpose and has made the way to new life. The only thing standing in the way is our own selves.“

Will we believe in Him?
Will we accept His story as our story?
Will we draw closer to Him and ask for this free gift of love?
