Read Matthew 28:18-20/Mark 16:15
Ever been in a locker room right before a game, the coach is giving the final instructions, the pep talk? Normally the coach emphasizes one specific teaching point that’s been emphasized many times in practice. The coach has equipped the players and now he must turn the game over the players. He or she can’t play and they use this last minute to encourage the players before sending them out. This is exactly what Jesus does in our passages today. This is what I want you to do. This is your number one assignment above all else!
Let us follow Jesus’ instruction. Let us go and preach the good news and in so doing make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!
