Everyday Since - The Great Commission goes forth ....
Scriptures: Matthew 28:16-20
Details: Go, testify, teach, make disciples, baptize, observe God's commands.

"Go into all the world and preach the good news gospel to everyone. Anyone who believes in Me (Jesus) and is baptized will be saved, but those who refuse to believe will be condemned to hell." (from Matthew 28:16-20 and Mark 16:14-19 emphasis mine)

For those of you who haven’t come to accept Jesus, you can change that right now.  God’s gift of salvation favor (grace) is free, all you have to do is receive it by faith.

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son,
that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.”
(John 3:16)

In John 11:25-26 of the Bible Jesus spoke these words to a woman named Martha.  "I Am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. and whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?"

As a Christ follower and in obedience to the Great Commission command of my Savior, I'd pose this same question to you dear reader.  Today if you put your trust in Christ; He promises to forgive and forget the past that you desperately want to leave behind.  You can do it by saying this prayer sentence by sentence.

Remember, when God gives you the opportunity to share the message of the cross in witnessing (and He will) always …

Pray with others.
Sow favor and blessings.
Reap favor and blessings.

Until next time, “favor sharing the message of the cross!

“I favored you while on the cross.” 
- Jesus Christ
