The Great Commission

Matthew 28: In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the

week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

2  And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended

from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

3  His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

4  And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

5  And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that

ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

6  He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

7  And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold,

he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

8  And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did

run to bring his disciples word.

9  And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail.

And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

10  Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into

Galilee, and there shall they see me.

11  Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and

shewed unto the chief priests all the things that were done.

12  And when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they

gave large money unto the soldiers,

13  Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.

14  And if this come to the governor's ears, we will persuade him, and secure you.

15  So they took the money, and did as they were taught: and this saying is

commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

16  Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus

had appointed them.

17  And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.

18  And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in

heaven and in earth.

19  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father,

and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo,

I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

We see in this chapter of Mathew that Jesus as defeated death, and tells Mary to

go tell my brothers to go to Galilee and they will find him there, Jesus also tells

both Mary’s to rejoice even after Jesus rose from the dead Some of guards and

religious leaders plotted against the disciples and wanted to blame them for

stealing Jesus’s body offering money to the soldiers

Jesus spoke to the eleven disciples in Galilee on the mountain Jesus appointed

them too and gave the disciples instruction to go into all the nation and preach

the gospel and baptize in the name of father and son and Holy Spirit

We are called to do this and not be afraid, for he is with always.

When I first started telling people about Jesus I was and still get excited when I

tell people in the world about him

I Pray that God gives my brothers and sisters the boldness to do the work of the

father as Jesus did.
