The Great Commission
Matthew 28:16-20 · Berean Standard Bible
The risen Jesus sends his followers to every nation with a promise attached: 'I am with you always.' The commission that launched the church, and the assurance that carries it.
16Meanwhile, the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain Jesus had designated.
17When they saw Him, they worshiped Him, but some doubted.
18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.
19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
