"The Great Commission" (Matt 28:19-20)
The great commission which Jesus left with the disciples, just before He ascended into heaven; Matt 28:19-20 reads: (19) "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" (20) "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."
So what do we do about serving the Lord? The first thing that we do is do away with all of the excuses. Some people might say; "I don't know enough", or maybe " I don't feel led to do a certain thing". That's the type of thinking that will really quench the Holy Spirit in your life. It takes a willing vessel for the Spirit to work. That's what is pleasing to the Father. Jesus said in Luke 9:23 that we should deny ourselves, take up our cross daily and follow after him. If you don't know what your calling is, then read it again and deny yourself (put the Lord first in your life), take up your cross (repent daily of our sins), and follow Jesus (Learn His ways and follow the righteous path that He laid for us). This is every one's calling.
Jesus set the example for us in the three and a half years that he ministered. Although His life was cruelly cut short, the legacy that He left us with is still with us. The reason that this is so is because Godly people were willing to obey the Lord, sometimes at the risk of their life. Jesus told us to be the light of the world and to preach the Gospel to every living creature. Let's get rid of those excuses folks. You have your calling. You have your commandment. It's time to get off the church pews and hit the Hy-ways and the hedges, and seek that which is lost. You don't have to worry, God will equip you; as He already has given us the Holy Spirit to teach us and guide us on our journey.
David
