Within Christendom the Great Commission is perhaps the most widely known verse. This is the verse that has galvanized men and women alike to sell everything they own and voyage to distant lands with the motive of spreading the Gospel. This Great Commission first starts with a great announcement. This great announcement is the fuel that feeds the fire of mission. Jesus has come and rescued us from sin and self absorption. We have now been adopted into the family of God. Our biggest problem in life (spiritual lostness) has now been healed. This saving act of God properly understood will energize a Christian to go and announce the good news that has personally set them free. A Christian who has been set free of self can't help but stand up and proclaim the excellencies of Jesus.
