Matthew 28:19-20
v. 19: Jesus gives his disciples a command: "Go and make disciples of all nations." He tells them to baptize new followers in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This means the good news about Jesus is for everyone, not just for Jews. The disciples must teach people everywhere about Jesus, invite them to believe and be baptized, and help them become part of God’s family. Baptism is a sign that someone belongs to God and trusts in Jesus. It is done in the name of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—showing the unity of God. v. 20: Jesus tells his disciples to teach new believers to obey everything he has commanded. Being a disciple is not just about believing; it also means learning to live the way Jesus taught. Christians must follow Jesus’ teachings and help each other grow in faith and obedience. Jesus also promises, "I am with you always, to the end of the world." This means he will never leave his followers alone. Jesus will be present through his Spirit, helping, comforting, and guiding them until the very end. This promise gives Christians courage to do God’s work, knowing Jesus is always with them.
