Therefore
Go
And Make Disciples Of All The Nations

Jesus didn’t say, “Therefore, stay!” He said, “Therefore Go!” He said to make disciples all over the world! It is who we are. It is what we are to be about. The “Lottie Moon Christmas Offering” gives us a chance for all of us to make disciples throughout the world by supporting missionaries who are willing and eager to go. Want to know more about this offering? Just Google it and then give!

Scripture

Matthew 28

¹⁸ Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.
 
¹⁹ Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
 
²⁰ Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Observation

Jesus didn’t say, “Therefore, stay!” He said, “Therefore Go!” He said to make disciples all over the world! It is who we are. It is what we are to be about.

The “Lottie Moon Christmas Offering” gives us a chance for all of us to make disciples throughout the world by supporting missionaries who are willing and eager to go. Want to know more about this offering? Just Google it and then give!

It is a shame that in recent years the church (us) has been keeping and spending too much of our offerings on ourselves (buildings & events). Our missionaries are being brought home because of our lack of giving.

The Great Commission is for all of us.

If we can’t physically go then we should pray and give so that others can go.

Our job is to make disciples. We are to personally teach those disciples and help them to grow in Christ.

Application

I will give more to support our missionaries overseas. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, yesterday we watched people go crazy in shopping malls all over our country just to save some money on some Christmas presents that will break and wear out almost as soon as they get home. Help me focus on what is Eternal and what will never wear out. Don’t let me get caught up in the power and lure of all the ads, all the commercials that try to get me to go out and buy stuff that I don’t really need to buy. You know how weak I am when it comes to bargains.

I pray for our missionaries that are serving all over the world. Encourage them today. Help them to be successful. Bless their families. Let them sense Your Presence and Your Strength today.
