Christmas and Easter remind us of God’s faithfulness in restoring humanity. The birth and the death of Jesus completed God’s plan of salvation. However, we are not saved to do nothing. Jesus’ last command to the church is an evangelistic command. We have been saved to save others. Our salvation should trigger the salvation of other people as well. We should not be content being the only Christian among our peers. The love of God should compel us to reach out to others. Afterall, God sent Jesus to the world out of the love God has for humanity. 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.” (Matthew 28:19-20) Before the ascension of Jesus, He commanded His disciples to go and make disciples of all nations. Afterall, Heaven is not meant for a particular racial group. Every soul is a soul. Jesus’ command is very specific. After we have witnessed and won souls, we should baptize them and teach them to obey everything Jesus has commanded us. A conscious effort to disciple the souls we win is recommended by Jesus. It is not enough to have people give their lives to Christ. They should be taught the way to live. Christlikeness is not automatically imputed when we come to Christ. We need to teach it. Jesus had promised us of His presence with us even to the end of the age. He is always with us. Knowing that we have been saved to save others should compel us to love others enough to share with them the gospel. Christmas and Easter celebrations should remind us of the commission we have. Jesus is coming soon and we should not be comfortable knowing that others have not been saved. Our generation is so blessed that we have diverse opportunities to share the gospel. Social media has become a platform for evangelisation. Do not be left out. If you cannot travel to the next neighbourhood to share the gospel, know that social media is able to go where you cannot go. Let your life also reflect the life of Christ. Consciously avoid things that will make people doubt your faith. Finally, a daily communion with the Holy Spirit is needed as He will teach you and remind you of all things you have learned. Remember, we have been commissioned to go to the ends of the world and our journey does not end after Christmas and Easter. It is a daily lifestyle. Will you join me and other believers to go?
