The Lasting Command 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. Matthew 28:19 Recommended Reading Ephesians 3 Jesus spoke these words over 2,000 years ago. While the disciples did not scatter into the world immediately, once they began to be persecuted, they and the Word spread quickly. Since then, millions of disciples have taken the Gospel into their neighborhoods and around the world. It is easy to put the early disciples on a pedestal, thinking they were somehow smarter, better equipped, or more courageous to share the Gospel than we are today. The truth is that they were ordinary men equipped and guided by God. They understood, just as David did when he fought Goliath, that the result of their efforts did not depend on them, but on God. Today, we have the same commission that Christ assigned to His disciples. While His command may seem daunting, we have the same God with us, and He makes successful evangelism possible. Our only responsibility is to remain focused on Him. We can be confident in Him. He has the power to take our mustard seed faith and move mountains. Lets remain committed to letting our light shine before men, that they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:16) God uses men who are weak and feeble enough to lean on Him. Hudson Taylor Read-Thru-the-Bible Proverbs 4-7 Live Inspired! Keep Believing, Dr. V Share the Knowledge!
