114 Final Command—Make Disciples

Matthew 28:16-20; Luke 24:44-53; Acts 1:4-11, TBC Book Two, Chapter 114 
​More than 500 people lined the mountainside near the Sea of Galilee. They remembered the early days of Jesus’ ministry, when he had given a powerful sermon on that very same mountain. Now they waited with the Eleven, hoping to see him in their midst once more.

When he finally appeared, the people bowed down in worship. But some were hesitant. He did not look like the Jesus they had known. How could they be sure this was really Jesus? For many of them, their doubts were laid to rest when they heard him speak.

“All authority has been given to me,” he called out, “both in heaven and on earth. So I give you this command: As you go on your way, show people from all nations how to follow me, teaching them to obey all that I taught you. Baptize them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And know that I am with you always, even to the very end of the age.”

It was some time later, forty days after Jesus had risen, when the Eleven met with him one last time. As they sat together at the Mount of Olives, he began teaching them and gave them his final instructions. . . .
