Matthew 28:18-20 MSG — Jesus, undeterred, went right ahead and gave his charge: “God authorized and commanded me to commission you: Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Then instruct them in the practice of all I have commanded you. I’ll be with you as you do this, day after day after day, right up to the end of the age.”

The Great Commission is a decree for you and I. Jesus directs each of us to “train” everyone we meet. We are mandated to take this commission seriously and spread the Good News in all that we say and do. Have you thought about the weight and seriousness of Jesus’ instructions? Are you intentional about ways to make disciples? How are you responding to the call on your life? What impact are you making to those around you?

My prayer is that others will see Christ in me in all that I say and do. Of course I fall short and must be sure to refocus when I stray from God’s calling on my life. Listen to Let Them See You by Colton Dixon to help you refocus on God’s call on your life.

Let’s pray. Dear God, forgive me for times I fail to realize the seriousness of the Great Commission. Help me stay focused and show me ways to make an impact for You. May others see You in me. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
