The Church and what comes last
Evangelism
Loading Matthew 28:19-20…
The commission is bracketed by two statements about Jesus: all authority is His, and He is with us always. Evangelism therefore is not persuasion carried out alone. The goal is not decisions collected but disciples taught to obey all He commanded.
A prayer from this passage
Lord Jesus, all authority belongs to You, and You promise to be with me. Give me courage to speak of You plainly and love that makes the message credible. Bring to mind the person You want me to talk to.
Key truth
The mission Christ gave is to make disciples of all nations, carried out under His authority and in His presence.
