Jesus himself left us instructions we know as the great commission. Going into all nations doesn’t mean you have to become a missionary. This scripture means that it is our job as followers of Christ to make sure the entire world knows about Jesus Christ and what He has done for us.
“Go ye therefore” doesn’t just mean 8,400 miles from home. It means your neighborhood, your work place, your community, your state, your nation! It means to each and every person you meet!
So many churches today forget what is important. They forget what the true calling and commission of the Lord is. We are supposed to be building disciples. Why have we as Christians stopped caring about the man on the street corner who needs Jesus? Why have we stopped caring that people of Muslim faith who believe in the wrong god are going to Hell? Why have we stopped caring that the person in our workplace that drives us crazy everyday needs Jesus? When did we become complacent?
Mark 2:17 says “When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
Church is not just about fellowship with people of like faith and being satisfied. It’s about reducing the number of lost people in the world. When we have lost our concern for the lost, we have lost our vision. Losing our vision means we are failing as Christians.
Never lose your vision. Invite someone to church, tell that coworker about all God has done for you. DON’T lose sight of our purpose in life. Someone you know is dying and going to Hell. You have the key of knowledge of salvation. Hand it to them!
