Embrace the divine calling entrusted to us by Jesus as outlined in Matthew 28:19-20. This sacred commission is not merely a suggestion; it is a powerful directive that challenges us to take action.
Therefore, let us embark on a mission to reach out to all peoples across the globe. We are commanded to share the profound teachings and life-changing message of Jesus Christ with each nation, culture, and community we encounter. This journey involves not only sharing the gospel but also performing the important act of baptizing individuals in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Through baptism, we signify the beginning of a transformative relationship with God, welcoming new believers into the vibrant community of faith.
As we engage in this important work, we must also commit ourselves to teaching others to observe and uphold the multitude of commandments that Jesus imparted to His disciples. This includes instilling principles of love, compassion, justice, and service that reflect Christ's teachings. It is our responsibility to ensure that these values are not only learned but deeply embedded in the hearts and actions of those we teach.
And as we undertake this monumental task, we can take heart in the promise that Jesus has made: He assures us that we are never alone in this endeavor. His presence accompanies us always, providing guidance and support, even to the very end of time. We are empowered by His steadfast assurance and boundless love as we strive to fulfill this noble commission. Let us step forward with confidence, holding fast to our faith, and commit ourselves wholeheartedly to spreading His message and making disciples of all nations.
