5 THE GREAT COMMISSION TEXT: Matthew 28:18-20 King James Version 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 alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
INTRODUCTION This Great Commission applies to Christians today. Rather than weighing us
down with a burden, obeying Gods call brings joy and reward in heaven. We should fulfill our
mission not out of duty but love:
1. THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MISSION 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: After Christs death and
resurrection, the Lord commanded the disciples to share the gospel, the message of His redemption:
Jesus commissioned us to go and make disciples of all nations, which includes all people groups. The
Great Commission will not be completed until people are willing to go to the unreached and
unevangelized.
2. THE RANGE OF THE MISSION 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: While believers should faithfully support
those who go to the unreached on foreign soil, all Christians have the mission to share Christ on the
home field with family, friends, coworkers, and the community.While believers should faithfully
support those who go to the unreached on foreign soil, all Christians have the mission to share Christ

3. THE REASON OF THE MISSION 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. The Christian
mission of sharing Christ does not end with a sinners salvation. The commission was to make
disciplesnot immature believers. Thus, Christian missions involves not only evangelism but also
discipleship. 4.THE REFUGE OF THE MISSION 20 Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.
Amen. Sharing the gospel humbly, boldly, and passionately is our Christian mission. But we cannot
do it alone. The power and results of Christian missions come from the Lord. He gives us the
wisdom, strength, and desire to witness! Through our witness, He works repentance and faith in the
sinners heart

CONCLUSION In sum, Christian missions is obeying Christ, sharing Christ, and relying on Christ.
Specifically, God sends missionaries through the support of the church to the unreached. All
Christians, however, have the mission of reconciliation. The Lord works through them to rescue the
lost. What greater mission can one fulfill? I believe that in each generation God has called enough
men and women to evangelize all the yet unreached tribes of the earth. It is not God who does not
call. It is man who will not respond! Know that as you surrender to Him, He will equip you with
everything needed to follow His call to share the Gospel with the unreached. All you need to do is
say yes. Amen
