JESUS DREW NEARAND SAID TO THEM,

"I HAVE BEEN GIVEN ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN

Matthew 28:18

AUTHORITY GREEK - EXOUSIA, “OFFICIAL RIGHT

OR POWER”HAD BEEN GIVEN TO JESUS

BY THE FATHER.

ALL POWER IS GIVEN UNTO ME - OR, ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND UPON EARTH

IS GIVEN UNTO ME.

BUT YOU WILL RECEIVE POWER WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS

COME UPON YOU, AND YOU WILL BE MY WITNESSES IN JERUSALEM AND IN ALL JUDEA AND SAMARIA, AND TO THE END OF THE EARTH."

Acts 1:8

JESUS’ COMMISSION,APPLICABLE TO ALL HIS

FOLLOWERS, INVOLVED ONE COMMAND,

“MAKE DISCIPLES,” WHICH IS ACCOMPANIED BY THREE

PARTICIPLES IN THE GREEK: “GOING, BAPTIZING,

AND TEACHING.”

THREE PARTICIPLESIN THE GREEK:

“GOING, BAPTIZING, AND TEACHING.”

BUT BECAUSE I LOVE YOU,I MAKE A REQUEST INSTEAD.I DO THIS EVEN THOUGH I AM PAUL, THE AMBASSADOR OF

CHRIST JESUS, AND AT PRESENT ALSO A PRISONER

FOR HIS SAKE.

Philemon 1:9

AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST

-AS AMBASSADORS FOR GOD, WE MUST BE WILLING TO GO

WHERE HE LEADS US.

THE HARDEST PART OF THE GREAT COMMISSION IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF TEACHING, OR PREACHING, OR BAPTIZING,

BUT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GOING.

TO GO MEANS THAT WE HAVE TO LEAVE AND ABANDON THE

THINGS THAT WE HAVE GATHERED, TO LEAVE THE

FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS THAT WE LOVE, TO LEAVE THE COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT.

THE PASSAGE THAT WE READ THIS MORNING TELLS US THAT THE FIRST AND FOREMOST RESPONSIBILITY OF AN AMBASSADOR IS NOT TO TEACH,

NOR TO BAPTIZE, BUT TO GO. THE HARDEST PART OF THE GREAT

COMMISSION IS NOT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF TEACHING, OR

PREACHING, OR BAPTIZING, BUT THE RESPONSIBILITY OF GOING.

TO GO MEANS THAT WE HAVE TO LEAVE AND ABANDON THE

THINGS THAT WE HAVE GATHERED, TO LEAVE THE

FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS THAT WE LOVE, TO

LEAVE THE COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT.

RICHARD BAXTER, THE PURITAN PREACHER OF THE 17TH CENTURY CONVEYS THE URGENCY, THE ZEAL OF

CHRISTIAN WITNESS WHEN HE SAID, "I PREACHED AS NEVER

SURE TO PREACH AGAIN, AND AS A DYING MAN TO DYING MEN!"

PAUL HARVEY SAID, "TOO MANY CHRISTIANS

ARE NO LONGER FISHERS OF MEN BUT KEEPERS OF

THE AQUARIUM.

MAKE DISCIPLE

CONVERSION WITHOUT DISCIPLESHIP IS OPENLY

IMPLIED IN MUCH OF OUR EVANGELICAL TEACHING. IT HAS BECOME STRANGELY POSSIBLE TO BE CHRIST’S WITHOUT TAKING UP THE

CROSS.

-C. D. Alexander

DISCIPLESHIP AND SALVATION ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS:

A DISCIPLE IS ONE WHO, REALIZING THE MEANING OF

THE ATONEMENT, DELIBERATELY GIVES HIMSELF

UP TO JESUS CHRIST IN UNSPEAKABLE GRATITUDE.

-Oswald Chambers

“MAKING DISCIPLES” MEANS INSTRUCTING NEW

BELIEVERS ON HOW TO FOLLOW JESUS,

TO SUBMIT TO JESUS’ LORDSHIP, AND TO TAKE UP

HIS MISSION OF COMPASSIONATE SERVICE.

BAPTIZING

BAPTIZINGORDINANCE - LAST SUPPER THE

WORDS “BAPTIZE” AND “BAPTISM” ARE SIMPLY GREEK WORDS TRANSFERRED INTO

ENGLISH.IT MEANS TO DIP A THING INTO

AN ELEMENT OR LIQUID.

“BAPTISM” IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT UNITES A BELIEVER WITH JESUS CHRIST IN HIS OR

HER DEATH TO SIN AND RESURRECTION TO NEW LIFE.

BAPTISM SYMBOLIZES SUBMISSION TO CHRIST, A

WILLINGNESS TO LIVE GOD’S WAY, AND IDENTIFICATION WITH

GOD’S COVENANT PEOPLE.

THERE ARE TWO ORDINANCES OF THE CHURCH LAST SUPER AND WATER BAPTISM - THE WORDS “BAPTIZE” AND

“BAPTISM” ARE SIMPLY GREEK WORDS TRANSFERRED INTO ENGLISH. IT MEANS TO DIP A THING INTO AN ELEMENT OR

LIQUID.

“BAPTISM” IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT UNITES A BELIEVER WITH JESUS

CHRIST IN HIS OR HER DEATH TO

SIN AND RESURRECTION TO NEW LIFE.

TO BAPTIZE IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER AND OF THE SON

AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AFFIRMS THE REALITY OF THE

TRINITY, THE CONCEPT COMING DIRECTLY FROM

JESUS HIMSELF.

BAPTISM POINTS BACKTO THE WORK OF GOD, AND FORWARD TO THE

LIFE OF FAITH.

-J. Alice Motyer

THE PROMISE

BEING AMBASSADORS FOR GOD IS ALSO TO CLAIM HIS PROMISES. CHRIST SAID,"AND, LO, I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN UNTO THE

END OF THE WORLD."

“ALWAYS” LITERALLY MEANS “ALL THE DAYS”

AND REFERS TO THE PRESENCE OF CHRIST WITH EACH BELIEVER

EVERY MOMENT.

JOHN 14:26; ACTS 1:4-5;

JESUS CONTINUESTO BE WITH US TODAY THROUGH HIS SPIRIT.

I AM WITH YOU ALWAYSHE IS A PATH, IF ANY BE MISLED; HE IS A ROBE, IF ANY NAKED BE;

IF ANY CHANCE TO HUNGER, HE IS BREAD;IF ANY BE A BONDMAN, HE IS FREE;

IF ANY BE BUT WEAK, HOW STRONG IS HE! TO DEAD MEN, LIFE IS HE;

TO SICK MEN, HEALTH; TO BLIND MEN, SIGHT;

AND TO THE NEEDY, WEALTH; A PLEASURE WITHOUT LOSS;

A TREASURE WITHOUT STEALTH.

-Giles Fletcher

MATTHEW BEGINS WITH THE GENEALOGY OF JESUS

AND ENDS WITH THE ETERNAL PLAN OF GOD TO

REACH HIS PEOPLE THROUGH THE WORK OF HIS BRIDE: THE CHURCH.
