Matthew 28:16-20 (KJV) Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
[17] And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
[18] And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
[19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing 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. Amen.
TOPIC- MISSIONARYS NOT STATIONARYS
WE ARE LIVING IN A DAY AND TIME WHERE THERE IS A
GREAT OPPORTTUNITY FOR A MISSIONARY MOVEMENT
BUT IN THE MIDIST OF IT ALL
A LOT OF US WHO PROFESS TO BE THE SONS AND
DAUGHTERS OF GOD
HAVE BECOME STATIONARYS
NOW YOU DO KNOW IT`S A DIFFERENT BETWEEN A
MISSIONARY AND A STATIONARY
A MISSIONARY IS ONE WHO HAVE BEEN COMISSION BY
GOD TO SHARE THE GOSPEL WITH UNBELIEVERS
NOW A STATIONARY IS ONE WHO IS INMOBILE OR
STABLE
AND THEY ARE SATISFIED WHERE THEY ARE AT
IN OTHERS WORDS THEY GET ALL THEY CAN AND SIT
ON THE CAN
BUT IT`S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN GOD SAVED YOU
THAT GOD COMISSION YOU TO GO SHARE YOUR FAITH
AND ENCOURAGE SOMEONE ELSE TO COME TO CHRIST
* NOW IN THE TEXT BEFORE US
IT WAS AFTER THE RESSURECTION OF JESUS
THAT HE TOLD THE WOMEN AT THE TOMB TO TELL HIS
DICIPLES TO MEET HIM IN GALILEE
AND IT WAS THERE IN GALILEE
WHERE JESUS GAVE THE CHURCH THE 2ND MISSION
STATEMENT
(NOW REMEMBER I SAID 2ND )
THE FRIST MISSION STATEMENT CAN BE FOUND IN THE
GOSPEL OF MATTHEW THE 10TH CHP VERSES 1-THRU 16
NOW THE 1ST MISSION WAS ONLY GIVEN TO THE 12
TO GO TO THE LOST SHEEP OF ISRAEL
BUT THE 2ND WAS GIVEN TO THE 11 THE 70 THE 500 PLUS
YOU AND ME
AND IT`S A LOT OF US TODAY STILL CAUGHT UP IN THE
1ST MISSION
AND THE REASON WHY IT`S A LOT OF LOST SHEEP IN
THE HOUSE OF GOD TODAY
AND THEN WE WONDER WHY IT`S SO MUCH CONFUSION
IN THE CHURCH TODAY
BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME LOST SHEEPS IN THE HOUSE
BUT WE NEED TO PUT OUR SELFISH AGENDAS ASIDE
AND GO TELL A DYING WORLD
THAT JESUS IS STILL LORD OF LORDS AND KING OF
KINGS
BUT LET US EXAMINE THE TEXT
IN VERSE 18- JESUS SAYS -All power is given unto me—
THE WORD POWER MEANS AUTHORITY
AND THE ENTIRE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW STRESSES THE
AUTHORITY OF JESUS CHRIST
IN MATT 7-29 THERE WAS AUTHORITY IN HIS TEACHING
MATT 8: 1-13 HE EXCERISED AUTHORITY IN HIS HEALING MATT 9:6 HE HAD AUTHORITY TO FORGIVE SINS
MATT 10 TELLS US HE HAD AUTHORITY OVER SATAN
AND HE DELEGATED THAT AUTHORITY TO HIS
APOSTLES
AND EVEN AT THE CLOSE OF THE GOSPEL ACCORDING
TO MATTHEW
MATTHEW MADE IT CLEAR THAT JESUS HAD ALL
AUTHORITY
AND SINCE JESUS HAS ALL AUTHORITY
NO MATTER WHER HE LEADS US
NO MATTER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCE WE FACE
WE MUST ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT JESUS IS IN
CONTROL
YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
BY HIS DEATH AND RESURRECTION
JESUS DEFEATED ALL ENEMIES AND WON FOR HIMSELF
ALL AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND ON EARTH
NO W IT`S IMPORTANT TO REALIZE THAT CHRISTIANTY
IS A MISSIONARY FAITH
THE VERY NATURE OF GOD DEMANDS THIS
FOR GOD IS LOVE
AND GOD IS NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH
2 Peter 3:9 (KJV) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
AND WE AS THE CHILDREN OF GOD WHO SHARE HIS
NATURE
NEED TO GO TELL A DYING WORLD THAT JESUS IS STILL
IN THE SAVING BUSSINESS
THEREFORE WE MUST GO
AND BE MISSIONARYS
19. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations—
baptizing 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.
Amen—
THE Commission embraces two primary departments, the
Missionary and the Pastoral,
The Missionary department : "Go, make disciples of all nations.
WHAT JESUS IS TELLING THE CHURCH IS
" "Go, conquer the world for Me; carry the glad tidings into all lands and to every ear, and deem not this work at an end till all nations shall have embraced the Gospel and enrolled themselves
My disciples."
Set the seal of visible discipleship upon the converts, by "baptizing them into the name," that is, into the whole fulness of the grace "of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost,
The Pastoral department
IS TO —teach these baptized members of the Church visible—
WHAT TO TEACH THEM
"to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you,"
"And lo! I am with you all the days"—
Acts 1:8 (KJV) But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy
Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
