GO YE!

 

GO YE!

 

The Great Commission: Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. [MT.28:16-20]

  To me, these two verses are as stirring as any others in the entirety of God’s Word. I can imagine Christ saying them with his voice an exclamation point! “GO YE!” For as His redeemed brethren it is not nor will ever be a request. It is our marching orders!

  I have these two verses highlighted in every Bible I own. Over the years I added this footnote:

Go!

Go produce fruit!

Go in His name!

Go in his love!

Go in His protection!

Go to His eternal home!
