You know, one of the last things Jesus ever told His disciples before He went back to Heaven was this right here in Matthew 28:19—“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” That’s not just a suggestion, that’s a commission. We call it the Great Commission, but for most of us it’s been the Great Omission.

Jesus didn’t say, “Sit and wait for folks to show up.” He said, “Go.” That little word is big. It means get up from your comfort zone, walk out your front door, and take the gospel with you to whoever God puts in your path. The gospel is portable—it’ll ride in your Jeep, sit with you on the porch, or walk with you through Walmart.

We don’t have to know everything. We just have to share what we do know—that Jesus loved us enough to die for us, He rose again, and He offers forgiveness and eternal life to anyone who believes. That’s good news worth passing along!

Friend, God’s not looking for perfect people—He’s looking for willing people. If He can use fishermen, tax collectors, and even a hot mess like me, He can use you. So today, let’s decide that we’re not going to keep the gospel bottled up. Let’s carry it, live it, and share it, so that somebody else gets to taste the grace we’ve already enjoyed.

Because at the end of the day, our calling is clear: Go. Teach. Baptize. Repeat. And in the going, we’ll find the greatest joy of all—watching lives change by the power of Jesus Christ.
