"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."
The Message version phrases it this way...
"GO out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit."
Either way the marching orders that Jesus leaves for us is GO! We are to be people who GO. In today's life we are definitely people "on the go" as we rush through our day from one event to the next. In fact we seem to be going lots of places: the store, work, the mall, soccer practice, the lake, and of course one more trip to Wal-Mart.
The question for us to wrestle with in all of our going is "are we going with a sense of mission"? Do we go through our day with the realization that we are right now in the middle of the mission field? In our days of rushing remember that God expects more from us than a frantic pace. We are called to more than membership, we are called to discipleship. Disciples go with a sense of mission.
Love Ya Much,
