Matthew 28
Matthew closes with a section, verses 16-20, that is called the "Great Commission". The Great Commission is the task that Jesus gives to the disciples. "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." As Christians we understand that the commission was not only given to the disciples but to us. This is what the risen Lord wants us to do.

Jesus' most important commandments were to live Him with our heart and soul and then to love our neighbors as ourselves. It seems that our church is exemplifying this kind of love more and more as we reach out to our neighbors - in Grapevine or Kenya or wherever. I praise God for being a part of this kind of discipleship!
