\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost\u00e2\u20ac\u009d <\/em>(Matthew 28:19).<\/p>\n

Christ left no doubt about our mission on earth by beginning it with the words, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Go ye.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d With our faith in God and the good news of the gospel, there was no maybe or perhaps about it. I interpret this as just don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sit there with it, get up and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Go.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d And with the going we must remember it is a global matter. Our \u00e2\u20ac\u0153world\u00e2\u20ac\u009d may not be to primitive areas overseas but that doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t mean we shouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t pray and give as others sacrifice to take the gospel to those places. We do have the responsibility to go and teach others in our part of the world. Many still haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t received the news that Jesus lived, died, and rose again to save them from their sins. It is our duty and privilege to \u00e2\u20ac\u0153go and teach.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n

In our verse we see reference to the Trinity. It left no debate of the logical order with first, God the Father, then God the Son, and finally, God the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

Jesus was going to His Father but He would leave us with a sense of His presence, the Holy Spirit. His Spirit would be there to comfort, lead, and empower us as we would go with the gospel. Our verse also directs us to teach first, then lead a person to be baptized in the name of the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Father, Son and the Holy Ghost.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d Tomorrow we will share more about baptism which should follow the salvation experience.<\/p>\n
