The Misunderstood Great Commission -
What part of the Great Commission is most frequently neglected?
Stephen Hopkins explains in this video that the Great Commission is often misunderstood. We frequently tend to understand it as simply telling people that “Jesus died for your sins” when the Great Commission involves much more than those words.
First, we are to preach the Gospel to every living creature. We are to take the Gospel into the entire world. Second, we are to bring the good news of the saving work of Christ. New converts are to be baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Third, we are commanded to teach them to observe all things. This third element is notably missing in the church today. The discipling and teaching of new believers that Scripture commands must take place.
Matthew 28:18-20 (NKJV) – “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
