"Living in Christian Community" (Matthew 28:18-20; Hebrews 10:22-25)
Matthew 28:18-20 — The Great Commission Jesus has just risen from the dead. He’s about to ascend to heaven. These are His FINAL instructions to His disciples—His last words before leaving earth:
“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” (verses 18-20).
