SUNDAY CHOICE – The Great Commission – By Charles Schokman

(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
