Before ascension Jesus issued what has come to be

called The Great Commission. A “commission” is “an authoritative command; a directive; a command.” When Jesus spoke these words directly to His disci-ples, and indirectly to us, He was giving the church her marching orders. He was telling exactly what He expected us to do in His physical absence. The disci-ples took the Lord’s command seriously. They went into the world and shared the Gospel of Jesus and thousands upon thousands were saved by the grace of God That was then, and this is now! What was given as The Great Commission has turned into what some have labelled The Great Omission. When something is “omitted”, it is “left out, undone, neglected”. Instead of taking the Gospel to the ends of the earth as the Lord commanded, the modern church won’t even take the Gospel to the end of the street. Consider the follow-ing: 95% of all Christians have never won a soul to Christ. 80% of all Christians do not consistently wit-ness for Christ. Less than 2% are involved in the min-istry of evangelism. 71% do not give toward the fi-nancing of The Great Commission. These statistics are sad because they reveal the true state of the modern church. We are satisfied to be saved, but we are not motivated to see others come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. Some-how we have come to believe that the end of our re-sponsibility is to come to church a couple of times a week, pray when we can, read the Bible every now and then, and live a life that is slightly cleaner than the world around us. We have forgotten the truth that Christianity is a militant, activist faith. Our calling is not to endure to the end; but to storm the very gates of Hell, Matt. 16:18. Our orders are not to sit by while the world drops off into Hell; our orders are to go in-to the world and tell them the glorious news of a cru-cified and risen Saviour Who specializes in saving souls, and in changing lives and eternal destinies. We live in a world full of lost people. You ca find them in your neighbourhood, your favourite restau-

rant, the corner market, and the shopping mall. You may even know some of them – some may even be family members and friends. You want to see them saved; you can start by obeying the divine mandate. The mandate of The Great Commission is to “Go”. This is a word of action! We cannot “go” if we are sitting still. We cannot “go” if we stay where we are. We cannot “go” if we do not make a move. As we pass through this world we are to carry the Gospel message with us, sharing it with everyone we meet along the way. There are two ways we can do this. 1. It involves our Lifestyle – Matt. 5:13-16. Like salt, our life should create a thirst in people for the Lord. Our joy, our peace, our differences from the world should cause them to want to know why we are like we are. Our lives should be like a great spotlight which directs its beam toward Jesus. If He is the focus of our lives, men will see Him lived out through our lives day by day! 2. It involves our Lips – We are told to “teach”. That word has the idea of “making disciples or to instruct”. We are to live the right kind of life, but we are also told to share our faith. We are to tell a lost world what Jesus did for us when He saved us and what He can do for them, if they will trust Him as we did. It is not enough to just show it, we must also say it! Our duty is to tell! If the Lord just saved us to keep us out of Hell, then He would have taken us to Heaven as soon as He saved us. If He had just saved us to wor-ship and praise Him, then He would have taken us straight home to glory. He saved us so that we would have a story to tell! He leaves us here so we can tell the story. He saved us to use us in this world as His tools of ministry to lost sinners. In spite of the conditions around us; in spite of the difficulties and dangers; in spite of every excuse we offer, The Great Commission still stands! God still expects His people to take His message to a lost world so that they might hear the wonderful words of life. Shalom.
