Series Introduction
The Great Commission is a powerful call from our Lord Jesus Christ to spread his message and make disciples of all nations. This series explores key aspects of this mandate, beginning by recognising our purpose to serve God and share his love and grace with those around us. Our obedience to Christ’s commands reflects our love for him, compelling us to share the gospel widely. We will reflect on the need for all people to hear the word of God and nurture hope amid despair. Finally, we will remember that love is the cornerstone of our identity as Christians, calling us to sacrifice, share, and support one another.
Reflection: The Great Commission
Jesus is giving us a challenge and trusting us as his disciples to get the job done. As believers, wherever we are, be it at home, or in business, we have to be vehicles carrying the word to all nations. We don’t all have the opportunity to travel, but channeling resources to support those who are able to travel makes us partners with our Lord.
Missionary work across the globe can only be possible with believers supporting it. In Mozambique, we have districts and villages that have not yet received the gospel. Someone has to go there and preach the good news. This is where we all fit in.
Let’s strive to live lives that are pleasing to God and remember the great task he gave us: to go and make disciples in all nations. We can achieve this by building connections with those who can serve on our behalf and supporting them with the necessary resources.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, I believe and understand the task at hand. Help me understand and get involved in making disciples of all nations. Your people everywhere need to know your word. Help me to play my part in the great commission so that your people can be saved. In Jesus Christ’s name I pray. Amen.
