The Great Commission
The Great Commission is the last instruction personally given to the apostles by Jesus Christ. While only delivered to the eleven apostles, the Great Commission is an instruction and message for all Christians to follow and live by.

The apostles did this by going out into the world preaching and teaching the story of salvation through Jesus and baptizing those who were saved. The apostles didn’t just reach out to non-believers to be converted. They also took the time to continue the teaching and to support those who already believed in salvation through Jesus Christ. In doing so, the apostles were able to train others to be leaders who could support and minister to their communities and other people of the world.

As the apostles encountered hard times, they were able to get through and fulfill their part in the commission by remembering that they were not alone. Again, the instruction given by Jesus should be for all Christian followers. As Christians, we are all responsible for reaching out, spreading the word to others and maintaining our own faith. It is not enough to just believe that Jesus Christ
