GO! "As you are going?" (Sent, Witness, Preach, Disciple)

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen. Matthew 28:19-20

Stay? No. “Go therefore”: Because Jesus in charge and is all powerful, we are therefore commanded to go. It is His authority that sends us, His authority that guides us, and His authority that empowers us.

I’m no Greek scholar but Go is a command and it’s present tense which can be implied saying ‘as you go’ “Make disciples of all the nations”. "As you are going". It’s a lifestyle of living for Jesus, and more than being just a Sunday Christian. This is as we are going, so not just crusades, events, our outreaches but daily leading people to Jesus.

The command is to make disciples, not merely converts or supporters of a cause. The idea behind the word disciple is of a scholar, a learner, a student, a follower. “Of all the nations” (ethnos=ethnic, people groups, languages): There is no place on earth where the gospel of Jesus should not be preached, and were disciples should not be made.

“Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you”: Disciples are made through teaching. This teaching is not with words only, but by the power of the God changing hearts and transforming lives. The content of the teaching must be all things that I have commanded you. The followers of Jesus are responsible to present the whole counsel of God, the whole Bible to make sound disciples.

“Lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age”: Do you see that Jesus sent His disciples with a mission to fulfill, but He did not send them alone? The promise of His constant presence was more than enough to strengthen and guide the disciples as they obeyed Jesus in making disciples of all the nations.

Our response: Either you become saved or not. You must be ‘born-again’ in order to even be a disciple of Jesus. When we become born again our old life is dead and buried, our new life is raised in Jesus. Then we follow Him.

Our role: We are to make a disciples. Not of ourselves but of Jesus. To teach, and instruct the people in the ways of God. We need the Word of God to be the people of God - by simply teaching the Bible simply.

4 Great Co-missions for Believer's:

1) Sending Role

John 20:21 “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you”

This is the continuity of Christ and His church, and we should support missionaries and be one.

2) Witnessing Role

Luke 24:46-49 & Acts 1:7-8 “Be my witnesses... in Jerusalem and Judea and to the ends of the earth”

This is progression and strategy, and we should testify what God has done in our life. Start at home work your way out from there.

3) Preaching Role

Mark 16:15-16 “Preach the gospel to all creation”

This is a universal scope to share the good news (1 Corth 15) with everyone. We should invite people to church and to have a relationship with Jesus.

4) Discipling Role

Matthew 28:18-20 “Go and make disciples of all nations”

Remember that this is of every ethnic group. We should invest time in others and teach them the Bible. I would encourage you to start a family Bible study and also to spend time with new believers.

Well, what has Jesus called you to do? Make disciples of Jesus. Charles Spurgeon said “Every Christian is either a missionary or an impostor”. Your mission field is in-front of you at all times.

GO! A "word from God?" (God's Will for You)

"Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." - Mark 16:15

What are you doing for the Kingdom of God? Have you taken the Great Commission to heart? Have you gone into all the world to preach the Gospel to every creature? Or are you waiting for a "word from God?" Then here it is - "Go."

That's the first word of the Great Commission given to the Church (Mark 16:15). So, what are you waiting for? There's your word from God. Go somewhere; do something; say something to somebody somewhere, somehow.

Someday you will be dead, and then it will be too late. While you can ... think, speak, move your hands and feet, do something for God. Are you content to sit in the barracks while the battle rages? You are in a battle for the lost.

Form a platoon. Give out ice breakers (gospel tracts are for people not places) everywhere, leave them with someone, speak for your God. Don't be afraid of failure. Be afraid of silence.

Should We Base Our Christian Experience upon Our Feelings?

Human beings are emotional creatures. We make many decisions on how we feel at the moment. Yet our Christian experience should not be based upon our moment to moment feelings. We are to walk by what we know, not how we feel. This is because our feelings change.

Walk By Faith
The Bible emphasizes that our Christian experience should be based upon faith:

For we walk by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).

God Is Faithful
The children of Israel let their feelings get in the way of trusting God. The saw the giants in the land and were afraid. The forgot what God had done for them.

Great is Your faithfulness (Lamentations 3:23).

Examples

Hebrews 11 provides examples of men and women of faith. We are given these accounts to serve as examples for us.

Now these things became our examples, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things they also lusted (1 Corinthians 10:6).

Summary
Our Christian experience should be based upon what we know, not how we feel. God's Word has provided examples of men and women of faith. As we read the account of the faithfulness in their lives it should encourage us also to be faithful.
