Christ’s message to His disciples and to us is a message of Encouragement!
All authority that was Christ’s, is made available for our use. We don’t have to obey the Great Commission using only our human skills and ability. We have the Authority of Christ with which to operate in. We see example of this time after time in the rest of the New Testament. He will be with us until His commission is fulfilled. Praise God we are not alone! He will never leave us or forsake us.
We are to be about doing what our Lord told us to do. This message was not exclusive to the 11 disciples. This message was a message to anyone and everyone who would call themselves a follower of Jesus. With this in mind, we need to see to it that we take very seriously the directive of Christ. It wasn’t just a good idea, it was a God idea. God’s plan for us!
Now we have a purpose that is to love God AND love people! Now we are encouraged to be like Jesus wherever we are and whatever we do. Our purpose on the earth isn’t all that complicated. Love God. Love People. Be a lover! In a world that is full of everything else, we get to be the positive voice of encouragement by our actions and our words. Empowered by the Holy Spirit we can be an encourager to the people in our world. Why not start today, you can bring the message encouragement until the whole world knows
