Day 19: The Great Commission
Maybe you’ve heard of the Great Commission. Maybe you’re a part of a missional church? Maybe you’ve even been on a missions trip. All of these are well and good. Take a second and read Matthew 28:16–20 before reading the reflection. As you read this passage, focus on Jesus’s instructions to the disciples.
Reflection
When they went, Jesus instructed the disciples to teach the new disciples to obey ALL the commands he’d given them. He then encouraged them that he would be with them always wherever they went. These same instructions remain true for us today. We are called to go everywhere, spreading the Good News of God’s love for all.
- When we think of missions, we often think of going overseas. But what about the people in our own communities?
- How can you pursue missional opportunities in your own neighborhood?
- Can you think of any ways that you might spread the light of Christ in you to others in your own sphere of influence?

About this Plan
Coming off a retreat or revival? What next? You and I are the church of Jesus Christ on earth today, the visible representation of an invisible God. We have the Holy Spirit living within us, and have been commissioned to shine (illuminate) his love in the midst of a dark world. But what does that mean? How did we get here? And what do we do with all of this? All good questions, and if you stick with us through this journey, we are confident that the Holy Spirit will open your eyes to the light within you that God intends to use to illuminate the world!
