The Great Commission

After his resurrection, Jesus stayed around on the planet for about 40 days before his ascension, of which most of us have read about in Acts 1:9 which reads as follows:

“And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight.”

Of course, during his last days on Earth, Jesus interacted with his disciples in conversation to an extent. One of the last things that Jesus said to his disciples is found in Mathew 28:18-20, and it is what is called the Great Commission, it reads as follows:

"...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 and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

What was Jesus talking about? Basically, he was talking about evangelism; however, he was saying to make copies of what they were, since they were also disciples. Therefore, he was saying to go and train others in the same fashion that he had trained them. This message is very simple to understand. He closed saying: “I am with you always, to the end of the age." In the Greek, he was saying until the entire completion of the world basically. I do not believe that the end of the age has arrived yet, so these working orders must be continued until that time. I will stop writing here, and let your thoughts on the matter take over at this point.
