"And the Mission Is . . . ? (2 Corinthians 13:11-13, Matthew 28:16-20)

There have been many persons given exciting commissions in their lifetimes. There was Michelangelo's commission to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel; Sir Christopher Wren's commission to build St. Paul's Cathedral in London. Walter Reed's assignment to stop yellow fever at the "Big Ditch" in Panama. And Chamberlain's orders to stop the Confederates at Little Roundtop in Gettysburg. But I tell you, in my life and yours, there is an even greater commission. It is found here in Matthew 28:18-20 where Jesus Christ turns to his disciples and says, "Go! Go therefore and make disciples of all nations...." Think of it! Almighty God, not Tolstoy or the Pope or the Queen, but God himself, turns and looks you and me full in the face and commissions us to work with him on his latest creative project.
