A Word of Commission (5 of 5)
Series: Easter Encounters

Matthew 28:18-20
INTRO: Take your Bible now this morning and turn with me to Matthew 28 – right there at the end of the gospel of Matthew. This morning we are finishing up a series of studies leading up to Easter that we entitled, “Easter Encounters.”
We began our series by running with Mary to the tomb on that first Easter morning and we heard Jesus share with her a word of comfort. “Mary…Teacher!”
Then we walked with those two disciples on the road to Emmaus and listened in as Jesus gave them a word of conversation – showing them how ALL of the scriptures prophesy and point to Him.

Now this morning, as we read and study Matthew 28:18-20 we’re going to see where Jesus gave his final instructions in the Great Commission.

(And just to be honest, most Christians today already know more Bible than they’re obeying.)
Listen to what Jesus says.

Amen.”
What we have here are the marching orders of our Lord and Savior Jesus - our Sovereign King.
This command and commission were given to all of us, and it is given to each of us.
Now, a lot of times a person’s last words are ...
