The Work

What work are we called to do as followers of Jesus?

As followers of Jesus, we are to obey God’s Great Commission to make disciples, or students, of Jesus.

Before his ascension into heaven, Jesus said, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them inthe name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:19-20, ESV).

The purpose of Jesus’ last words to his disciples was to command them to make more disciples of Jesus from every nation, to baptize, and to teach.

Making disciples of Jesus is the work we are all called to.

May we do the work God has called us to do and make disciples of every nation, trusting God is with us to the end.

A Prayer for Mission: “Almighty and everlasting God, who alone works great marvels: Send down upon our clergy and the congregations committed to their charge the life-giving Spirit of your grace, shower them with the continual dew of your blessing, and ignite in them a zealous love of your Gospel; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
