Matthew 28:18-20
“Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
The Great Commission. A very daunting yet inspiring verse in the Bible that we hear so often. Whenever I hear these verses read aloud, the person reading it always says “go” as if it were in all caps, bolded, and underlined three times. The same emphasis is put on the word “go” in all the images I see of the verse. Like this one:
Putting emphasis on “go” is so very inspiring and yet...so incomplete.

Redemption is sweeter after the bitterness of sin has been tasted. We cannot truly understand the depth and magnitude of salvation until we comprehend the ugliness from which we have been saved.
The audience on the day of Pentecost had no idea that they had crucified their Savior. And when, through Peter’s sermon, they realized their grievous error, they were cut to the heart and were compelled to act.
36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”
37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”
38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.” (Acts 2:36-39)
