LTW: "The Commissioning of God" ** not archived
- Matthew 29:18-20
- The commission Jesus gives here actually starts in Genesis 12 when revealed Himself to Abraham and told him your descendants will make me known to the world
- Jews disobeyed and became inward looking
- God gave Israel many warnings and around 700 BC the prophets start to reveal the rest of God’s plan
- Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, etc.
- God withdraws His commission and gives it to His son
- Jesus’ commission to make disciples of all men is for all of us
- Not just for professionals, ie pastors
- We must not be like the Jews and huddle up amongst ourselves, we must go out and proclaim Jesus
- We cannot become self righteous
