[The Living Church] 1 Nov 2007--Jesus said, “Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world” (Matt. 28:18-20, ASV).
There you have it. The famous last words of Christ to his followers in Matthew’s gospel. (Strangely, Matthew did not note his Ascension after giving that command, nor anywhere else in his gospel, but that is beside the point). They seem to have taken him seriously, as evidenced in the early texts of the New Testament and an objective view of history. They were sent on a mission to change the world, and it was never the same. Thanks be to God!
