When Jesus gave the Great Commission to His followers, He said, \u201cGo therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.\u201d Often, we focus on the \u201cof all nations\u201d part, and that part is really important. We do need to spread the Good News Gospel to the entire earth. But you know who else needs to know the Gospel? The person right next to you. Your co-worker, your friend, your brother-in-law. We need to pay attention to who needs to know God\u2019s love wherever we are. This is the daily work of evangelism. George Verwer once said, \u201cThe Great Commission is more than a call for you or me to leave where we are and go somewhere else. There is of course a great need for people to go, but there is a greater need for each of us to take up our own responsibility as part of the Church\u2019s response to the Great Commission; to be personally involved in whatever our particular role may be.\u201d This personal responsibility can be challenging. It affects our daily lives and interactions. But it means that we should be advancing the kingdom wherever we go and whatever we do. Spreading God\u2019s love should just be part of who we are, a natural reaction to God\u2019s work in our lives. We are all invited and ordered to get involved in fulfilling the Great Commission.
