Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Matthew 28 v 16-20
Because of who Jesus is — the crucified, risen Lord, in charge of absolutely everything — He deserves all people to love Him and respect Him. If we understand who Jesus is, we’ll love and respect Him so much that we’ll tell others about Him. Because we’ll want Him to enjoy their love and respect, too. Jesus is Lord — THEREFORE we should tell others about Him. But doing this is hard!
That’s why the last sentence of Matthew’s Gospel is fantastic! Jesus doesn’t just send us out to tell people about Him — He goes with us as we do it. Awesome.
