Day 15 | OUT: Missional Zeal

READ

Matthew 28:18-20 ESV

18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

In this passage, Jesus commands His followers to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to obey His commands, with the assurance of His authority and constant presence.
