The Great Commission!
There really isn't a whole lot that anyone can say about this piece of scripture. When becoming a member at HCC, I had to learn this verse and recite it at my discipleship class. Memorization is NOT my strong point, so I was very nervous about this task. Then, when I got started in my memorization, I found that it was so easy for me and that His words just poured from my mouth with so little effort.
The commission asks us all to be "disciples that make disciples" and I take that VERY seriously. I am trying very hard to communicate my faith, share my joys of being a child of God, help people with their faith journeys and to support those that have questions and are curious about the Lord.
Pastor Drew told me shortly after I started going to Heartland that people always say our "Lord and Savior", when in reality that is backwards. We all must accept Him as our "Savior" and then we have our "Lord". That has stuck with me, and I must say that I use this message a lot when speaking with other children of God. It is easy to explain and totally fits the message that "And surely I am with you always to the very end of the age" The Lord should be spoken last and will be there for us last, til the end of the age.
Well, I guess I had a little more to say about the Great Commission than I originally thought......let me know what you think.
and all God's people say......Amen!
