(Matthew 28: 16–20)

Jesus had arranged to meet the disciples in Galilee after his resurrection.

They went to a high mountain and worshiped him, although Matthew notes that some doubted.

Jesus gives them some instructions and reassurance; this event has become known as the Great Commission.

Jesus tells the disciples to:–

“Go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you.” 

The disciples began their missionary work in spreading the good news about Jesus and obeying his instructions from the Great Commission.

Christians are also called to follow these instructions as disciples of Jesus. Some people do this by:

• carrying out missionary work across the globe
• giving themselves to religious life (perhaps by becoming a priest or a minister)
• living a Christian life as an example to others

      Jesus leaves the disciples with an important fact:—

“remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age”

Pray this song ‘Tell Somebody’ will help us to reach out and tell somebody about Jesus and all the wonderful things that He has done.

LYRICS

Dear church, did you see me? 

I was the sinner that you walked by on the street 

Dear church, remember me? 

‘Cause You have something so beautiful 

Something that I need 

You have something so beautiful 

I wish you would have told me

So come on and 

Tell somebody about Jesus 

And all the great things He has done 

Where would I be if He had not rescued me? 

Come on and tell somebody 

Come on and tell somebody 

Tell somebody, oh 

Tell somebody (Woo) 

Come on church, say amen 

God has been faithful 

From beginning to the end 

Come on church, lend a hand 

There’s so many broken people

So many are in need 

Come on and tell somebody about Jesus 

And all the great things He has done 

Where would I be if He had not rescued me? 

So come on and tell somebody 

Come on and tell somebody 

Tell somebody (Somebody) 

Tell somebody 

If I was dying, and you had a cure 

Brother, would you help me? 

Sister, would you help me? 

Well the world is dying, and there is a Cure 

There’s a Hope that’s deep within us 

One thing I know for sure 

There’s a Hope that’s deep within us 

And this I know for sure 

That we got to 

Tell somebody about Jesus 

And all the great things He has done 

Where would I be if He had not rescued me? 

So come on and tell somebody 

And all the great things He has done 

Where would I be (Where would I be) 

If He had not rescued me? (Rescued me) 

Come on and tell somebody, oh

Tell somebody, oh 

Tell somebody (Somebody) 

Tell somebody (Come on and tell somebody) 

(We gotta tell) 

Tell somebody, oh
