As followers of Jesus we have often heard that He gave us a Great Commission: “Go and make disciples…” Unfortunately, we assume that Jesus gave us this command for us to do while he sits in heaven and weighs how faithful we are. This creates all kinds of stress in us as we struggle with obeying what he told us to do. But if we look at Scripture closely, we will see that Jesus doesn’t download this responsibility to us, but offers us to join him in what he is doing in our world. Understanding what he is actively doing is critical to understanding how we work WITH Jesus in the Great Commission and not just FOR Jesus.
