“This world, this nation, this culture—they will only be transformed for Jesus if we make the first move. We must answer the great commission in its entirety. We must step down off of our soapboxes and love those whom we have deemed so unlovable. It will change them—and, oh yes, it will change us.” –Mark Steele
It seems like the church quite often uses the Great Commission as a reason to be involved in foreign mission work, and it is. We just have to make sure that we don’t stop there. It is not about giving money to and praying for a foreign mission. All nations means all people and that means the people we see on a day to day basis. It applies to us all and it is the final thing Jesus left us with.
