The Great Commission
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.””
GO, DON'T WAIT
The command begins with movement — the disciples aren't called to wait for the nations to come to them, they're sent out to meet them.
ALL NATIONS
The mission's reach knows no ethnic border — the same gospel announced to Israel now extends to every people and every language on earth.
BAPTIZING IN THE TRINITY'S NAME
The baptismal formula names Father, Son, and Holy Spirit together — this is one of the clearest New Testament texts on the triune nature of God.
TEACHING TO OBSERVE
Making disciples doesn't end at baptism — it includes teaching ongoing obedience to everything Jesus commanded, a process that lasts a lifetime.
TO THE END OF THE AGE
The final promise isn't just companionship, but constant, enduring companionship — Jesus commits to being present for as long as the mission lasts.
