(LETTER ONE)

 

Dear Christians,

This is My commission to you – in fact, you might even call it a great commission.  You are to go to all people everywhere and call them to become My disciples.  You are to baptize them and teach them to obey all that I have commanded you.

Don’t forget.  I will be with you always to help you, even to the end of the world.  I will never leave you nor forsake you, because I love you.  Please don’t forsake Me.

With all My love,

Jesus Christ

(LETTER TWO)

 

Dear Jesus Christ,

We acknowledge the receipt of Your recent communication.

Your proposal is both interesting and challenging; however, due to a shortage of personnel, as well as several other financial and personal considerations, we do not feel that we can give proper emphasis to Your challenge at this time.

A committee has been appointed to study the feasibility of the plan.  We should have a report to bring to our congregation sometime in the future.  You may rest assured that we will give this careful consideration, and our board will be praying for You and Your efforts to find additional disciples.

We do appreciate Your offer to serve as a resource person, and should we decide to undertake this project at some point in the future, we’ll get back to You.

Cordially,

The Christians

How have you responded to Christ’s commission to go and make disciples?

 

Matthew 28:19-20

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
