So I was studyin the Scriptures this morning

So I was studyin the Scriptures this morning in Matthew. I was looking at the great commission, Matt. 28:18-20, because we are looking at evangelism this week in Bible study. I've studied this passage many times myself and have heard it preached many times, yet the Word of God still speaks a fresh word.
Here is the text: "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; teaching them to obey all that I have commanded. And lo, I am with you always, till the end of the age."
All, not some or most, authority in existence belongs to Christ Jesus. He is the sovereign lord, and none have more power than Him. He tells us of His power and authority that we might be prepared to submit to Him and to His commands. Understanding that He is LORD prepares us for what He says next.
Understanding that Christ is Lord should give us willing hearts/prepared hearts to then "make disciples" as the command says. We replicate ourselves in others just as Christ has replicated Himself in us that Christ might be in them. We take action since "make" is an active verb, and we share the Scriptures. We teach others about Christ, and we edify those that already know Christ. Our actions, based on a loving and obedient heart, should point others to Christ.
After people come to know Christ, they are to be baptized and taught/matured in the faith. They are to be taught the whole counsel of God, and they are to be held accountable to it. They too must apply the great commission and make disciples.
Most of the previous stuff I had already thought about or known. It's the last part of verse 20 that taught me. Christ says, "and lo, I am with you always, until the end of the age." Christ, who has all of this authority, doesn't tell us to go out and try to make disciples on our own. He doesn't say, "Here is my command. Come back when you are finished." No! He says, "I am with you always." Our God, who is in total control, goes out with us. He gives us the grace, mercy, and strength needed. He doesn't expect us to make disciples on our own. He just wants us to have willing/obedient hearts to go, and He will be there to work things for His will.
Today, we look at sharing the gospel with a poor vision. We try to avoid it. We think that we will be dejected. We think people will make fun of us. We think that we don't know how. We make so many excuses for not sharing the gospel that it makes me sick. I confess, I often find myself doing this more than I should, so I write this primarily for myself. But look at the Scriptures. Jesus has all the power. No earthly or demonic forces can overcome. Not only that, He promises to go along side of us. He will be there. So why on earth do I not share the gospel more. It's because I don't trust enough in Christ's promises. My challenge for anyone who reads this is that you see this promise and command here in Matthew and hold Christ to His promises. I guarantee He will come through, just as He always has before. Not only that, I ask that you hold me accountable.
So I was studyin the Scriptures this morning, and it was good to be with God.
