GO

Matthew 28

18 Jesus came and told his disciples, 

"I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.

19 Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, 

baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.

20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. 

And be sure of this: 

I am with you always, 

even to the end of the age."



 Mark 16

15 And then he told them, 

"Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone.

16 Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. 

But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned.



Luke 24:47

You must go and tell people that they must change and turn to God, 

which will bring them his forgiveness. 

You must start from Jerusalem 

and tell this message in my name to the people of all nations.



The operative word here is "go".

We don't seem to absorb that.

Jesus never intended us to keep this new life in Him to ourselves.

Each of us is to go to the people who do not know about Him.


Many interpret this to mean "go to deepest, darkest Africa" - which it does.


But "go" may mean to the people where you work, 

or the people in your town or county, 

or folks in another town or state, 

or overseas.


It all depends on where God leads you.


But the most important thing to read here is the action word...

Jesus said go...

therefore, we ALL must go.
