Overflowing Grace: Devo 13

Day 13: The Great Commission

Scripture: Matthew 28:19-20 NLT "Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 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 and Reflection:
The Greek word for "go" (poreuomai) conveys a sense of continual movement and purpose. Jesus commissions us to share the abundant life He offers by making disciples, teaching them, and baptizing them. This is not just a command for pastors or missionaries but for every believer. Reflect on your role in advancing God’s kingdom. Are you sharing the Gospel in your everyday life?

Think of a relay race where one runner hands the baton to the next. The Great Commission is like this baton, passed from Jesus to His followers, and from us to others.

Billy Graham dedicated his life to fulfilling the Great Commission, sharing the Gospel with millions and inspiring others to do the same.

Application and Action: Identify one person in your life who needs to hear about Jesus. Pray for an opportunity to share the Gospel with them this week. Reflect on this quote by Charles Spurgeon: "Every Christian is either a missionary or an impostor."

Prayer: Lord, thank You for the privilege of sharing Your love with others. Give me boldness to make disciples and the wisdom to teach them to follow You. Help me to carry the baton of the Great Commission faithfully. Amen.
