Our scripture this morning is Matthew 28:19 (NASB).
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
These are the words of the risen Christ to each and every one of us. It is known as the Great Commission, Jesus passing His earthly ministry to us. Now we are responsible for spreading God’s love to the world.
In Acts 2 we read of the coming of the Holy Spirit, God’s presence with us always. This enables us to be in constant contact with our Creator and to speak His truth. We are not merely things He made but beloved children, and part of His plan.
In the beginning God gave us responsibility for all earthly things, to act as His representatives here. Through the Great Commission we are made responsible to Him for the spread of the Good News, and to each other that all hear of His love and care for us. Each one of us must accept Christ as our savior, and each one of us must tell His story through how we live.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your love and forgiveness demonstrated through Christ’s sacrifice for us. Help us to be bold and loving voices for You always. Amen.
