---Matthew 28:19
The Great Gospel Commission.
---Co-mission is
a beautiful word for God is doing it with us.
---Who got the
commission? The disciples.
---Many. Plus
twelve that we know much about.
---Who were
present? Maybe twelve? If one count in Judas Iscariot’s replacement.
---How could
Jesus choose Judas Iscariot who was a dudd?
---The disciples
were all dudds for three and a half years.
---Yes but Judas
Iscariot betrayed Him. Yes, and Peter denied Him.
---They were all Autumn leaves blown by the Roman
wind at the cross, as the non-biblical poet said. Elizabeth Eybers.
---But when the
Holy Spirit answered their fervent requests, they lightened up the world.
---They became
Lighthouses on the rocks of countries for the Bible and Jesus.
---Jews were
expecting at the that time the nearness of the Messiah, so all of them were
saying: this is it!
---In 1 Peter 11
he said that Daniel 9:24-27 was the Editor Holy Spirit favorite text to
announce the year of His coming! Hello Calvinists. Hello everyone. Did you see
that? Look carefully.
---And do not
say that my church does not believe this. Catholics, Thomas Aquinas did believe
Daniel 9:24-27 shows 483 years until Christ. So did Reformers like George Joye,
Calvinist Hugo Grotius. The list can go on.
---But my church
never preach about that in Daniel. That is why you need to look for an
Adventist church near you. There are more texts to look for in Daniel with the
same principle calculating the death year of Christ. Is your phone out for
navigation?
---Disciples on
fire for Christ. Only pastors? Only priests? No. All. All who accept Jesus as
their Saviors become followers of Christ and as follower a disciple of Christ.
---It was
Dietrich Bonhoefer who wrote the book with the beautiful title: The Cost of
Discipleship. And there is also a beautiful song they are singing with his
words.
---But Bonhoefer
was a Factive Atheist. Oops. Right. Who said it? Systematic Theologican from a
Calvinist seminary who researched Bonhoefer. Jaap Durand.
---Do I believe
Durand? Yes.
---Where is the
true cost of discipleship? He paid the price. Period.
---Who? Christ.
For what? For our eternal life.
---When the
Creator gave His life for the creature in order to save Him the whole heaven
was in anguish and when He was resurrected they were in uncountable joy.
---It was like a
beehive in heavens above.
---After meeting
Mary in the morning Christ quickly left to heaven to see His Father and by
evening He was back again. How do you know that?
---Because when
Mary wanted to touch Him in the morning, He said, do not. I was not yet with My
Father. But in the evening He permitted Thomas to touch Him.
---So it is time
to become a Lighhouse for Christ on the rocks saving drowning people. Nice
right? Meaningful. When? Right now. Navigate this Sabbath to church. Look for
the nearest Adventist church to where you are right now.
