Jesus came to them and said, All power has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have taught you. I will be with you always, even to the end of the age.Matthew 28:18–20

This command is the heartbeat of every disciple. We began with it and end with it. It is the great commission, and it is personal. Wherever we go, we carry the mission of making disciples. We teach what we’ve been taught. We love as we’ve been loved. And Jesus promises to be with us always—this is his work through us.
