What Is the Great Commission in Matthew 28?

Direct Answer The Great Commission is Jesus’ instruction to make disciples of all nations, baptize them, and teach them to observe his commands. Matthew 28 grounds the task in Christ’s authority and closes with his promise to be with his followers.

Where does the commission begin?

The risen Jesus meets the disciples in Galilee. Matthew says they worship him and that some doubt. Jesus’ authority is the foundation for the charge he gives this imperfect group. Notice how teaching obedience and baptizing belong inside the work of making disciples.

Compare the promise in Acts

Acts 1 describes the Holy Spirit empowering witnesses from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. Matthew and Acts together connect the mission to Jesus’ presence and the Spirit’s power. Second Corinthians 9 gives a separate picture of generosity that equips people to do good works.

Make one part of it concrete

Read a Gospel passage with someone who asks about Jesus. Make time for their questions and meet again. If you support a ministry, ask how it teaches and serves people over time. Disciple-making takes attention beyond a first conversation.

Paul writes as he looks forward to visiting the believers in Rome. His words show what he hopes to bring them as he carries the Gospel from place to place.
