The Church, Entrusted with Evangelism

Ephesians 3:1-22

​

Jesus said, He is building His church with people. Beginning with His disciples, and everyone they discipled. Jesus began and has been building His Church.

​

Jesus’ last words on the earth that He gave to His disciples, the ones with whom He was beginning to build His Church with—those words are what we call the Great Commission, because they are Jesus’ direct instructions for His people, the Church.

​

Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”  
Matthew 28:18-20

​

Jesus told His disciples of the urgency of their mission.

He said, “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:13-14
