The Great Commission Is About Jesus

The gospel is about Jesus being the Son of God, who came as a sacrifice for the forgiveness of our sins so that after our repentance we would have reconciliation with God. Our commission is to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them what Christ taught.

“And he said to them, ‘Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.’”

(Mark 16:15)

God is merciful. He will wait for us to come to Him after our calling. The surety of our salvation rests in Jesus. He is our rock. He died so that we could live. No other truth is as simple as believing Jesus is the Christ. Through that belief, we have hope in a future, dwelling in the house of the Lord forever.

But how do we preach the gospel to the world if the world is hostile toward Jesus? Show mercy to those who wrong us, just as God shows mercy to us when we wrong Him. Teach those who lack understanding. Provide to those in need. Show love to all. Give to all. Bless all.

No greater sacrifice is there than to give one’s life for a friend. Therefore, let us dedicate our lives to those who, in the future, will be our friends in Christ, always remembering that we have a great commission in Jesus.

  1. One of the first scriptures I learned to memorize.

    Amen 🙏🤗♥️

    The Great Commission emphasizes spreading the gospel of Jesus, who sacrificed Himself for our sins to reconcile us with God. Mark 16:15 calls us to proclaim this message worldwide. Despite hostility, we can share the gospel by showing mercy, teaching, providing for needs, and loving others. By dedicating our lives to these acts, we fulfill our mission in Christ.

  2. This is very true. The important thing is preaching Christ Jesus. There is such animosity towards speaking the truth of the gospel today. However, let us stay ready in season and out of season. Thank you, Jack. Be blessed.

  3. People and peoples of the world have difficulty accepting CHRIST and the Gospel of Truth because many suffer from extreme needs, difficulties, and slavery, physical, mental, and spiritual; but many others, because they are seduced, DECEIVED, and disgraced by “gifts” offered by the king of the world.

    GOD’S MATTER IS SAVING LIVES!

    It is not politics, religion, money, luxury, and other human and satanic lusts.
