6. We are warmly invited to a personal faith that goes out to the
world to testify what has happened to us.
The angel tells the women gathered at the tomb to come, see,
go, and tell.
5 Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he
said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He
isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would
happen. COME, SEE where his body was lying. 7 And now, GO
quickly and TELL his disciples that he has risen from the dead,
and he is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there.
Remember what I have told you.” (Matthew 28:5-7)
7. We are told to “Come” and participate in Jesus’
costly life.
We are told to “See” and experience faith
personally.
We are told to “Go” and be sent out into the
world.
We are told to “Tell,” to bear witness, and to
testify.
10. Mark 16:14-16
14 Later, He appeared to the Eleven themselves as they were
reclining at the table. He rebuked their unbelief and
hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who
saw Him after He had been resurrected.
15 Then He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach
the gospel to the whole creation.
16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but
whoever does not believe will be condemned.(HCSB)
11. Matthew 28:18-20
18 Then Jesus came near and said to them, "All authority
has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe everything I have commanded
you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the
age." (HCSB)
12. Various passages of the Gospels show Jesus inviting
people with a warm welcome. Come!
All through the Gospels there is the invitation for
people to discover for themselves the truth of the
Christ. See!
We don’t have to go into “all the world,” only our
worlds. Go!
Not everyone is called to be a preacher, but we are
all called to witness to Christ. Tell!
ARE YOU READY ?
13. Are you serving others in His Name?
John 14:30-31
2 Corinthians 5:20
Ambassadors for WHO? Satan or Jesus Christ
God makes his appeal to the world through body of
believers! It’s our job!
His message of ‘repentance and forgiveness of sins’
should be joyfully proclaimed to those He puts in our
path.
