Title: The Great Commission of the Great King
Dr. Danny Akin
Matthew 28:16-20
Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. 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."
1. Recognize and believe he has all authority
• Worship him as the resurrected King.
• Hear him as the sovereign Lord.
2. Obey and act on his global plan
• Go and make disciples of all nations.
• Go and baptize disciples of all nations.
• Go and teach disciples of all nations.
3. Trust and rest in his amazing promise
• He will be with you.
• He will be with you forever.
