Happy is he whose resting-place is in the secret of the Lord, and under the shade of the wings of the Most High.

All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me

July 19, 2008

“…All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.  Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.  And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” 

Matthew 28:18 - 20

 

The last recorded words Jesus spoke to His disciples were “…You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

 

We are to be Christ’s witnesses — to tell others about Jesus.  This is a wonderful privilege — to share the life changing message of Jesus Christ with the world!

 

How do we do this?  Dr. Bill Bright, in Transferable Concept #5, shares these key points: We are to Prepare by 1) Be sure you are a Christian; 2) Be sure there is no unconfessed sin in your life; 3) Be filled with the Holy Spirit; 4) Be prepared to communicate your faith in Christ.

 

Then, we are to Go by 1) Praying; 2) Going to others; 3) Talking about the Lord Jesus; and 4) Expecting God to use you.
