“You Must Go And Make Disciples

Of All Nations”

Then the 11 disciples went to Galilee. They went to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him. But some still had their doubts.

Then Jesus came to them. He said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. So you must go and make disciples of all nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Teach them to obey everything I have commanded you. And you can be sure that I am always with you, to the very end."

Matthew 28:16-20

Our Lord Jesus commanded us to have a worldwide perspective on missions. We may not ever have a chance to travel much beyond where we live right now. But that does not mean our witnessing cannot have worldwide implications.

Is there an international student or adult living near you? Is a family from another country trying to cope with life in a new country? Or maybe there is a lonely person whom you can cheer up? Sharing the love of Jesus with them is your way of crossing the oceans with the gospel.

If you look through the eyes of Jesus, you will see a needy world.
