“It’s riskier to do nothing and just hold on until the Lords return, than to do something and follow the example of Christ and walk in obedience to His word and “go…”
The greater risk is ‘doing nothing’ because it’s outside of the desire of God for our lives…
It’s actually safer in the long run to follow the great commission…
‘Jesus is not asking us to do anything He didn’t do first.’ … Jesus first came to us…
The Son of God would become fully human, be tempted is all ways, retain His integrity, and in His perfection become the perfect sacrifice for us…
He models early on in His ministry how to “make disciples”… Missions and following the great commission is simply following the example Christ set for us…
“Disciples are not made by staying, Disciples are made by going…”
Jesus was always sending… We must be a going church, not a staying church… One of the reasons so many have the problems they have today is spiritual lethargy… spiritual inactivity… spiritual boredom… we must do more than avoid sin…
Just as He was initially at creation, Just as He was at our salvation, Just as He is today, He’s not going to forsake you…
He wanted them to both go in authority and power… Acts 1 has the last physical recorded words of Jesus to His Apostles… He’s given us the power and authority to fulfill His calling through the Spirit…”
