The Great Commission

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. …

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.”

Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.

Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest.”

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: “Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us?” And I said: “Here am I. Send me!”

And He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

…and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.
