The Great Commission
Spreading the “Good News” of Jesus our Lord!
As soon as a man has found Christ, he begins to find others. Charles Spurgeon.
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, Matthew 28:19
Introduction
The word gospel is literally “good news’ says Dr James Jinhong Kim.
The message of the gospel in the Bible falls into three sections:
- The message of Jesus;
- The message of the Apostles and;
- The teachings of Christianity.
The foundation of the gospel is Jesus’ love and our salvation through Him.
That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: Romans 1:15–16
Spreading the gospel is a way of helping God, the Holy Spirit bring people to our Father. Jesus, Himself recognises that each person has a unique calling to be used in this commission.
