The Great Commission and Communion

Jesus was the ultimate Missionary, leaving the glorious bliss of heaven to secure eternal rescue for the likes of us. He accomplished this through His shed blood on the cross.  And then before His ascension He gave us the Great Commission to preach the Gospel worldwide and make disciples from every nation. In 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 Paul says: "For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that He was buried, that He was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures..." First importance means first importance. This is not only the Gospel that is saving us, it is the Gospel we've been commissioned to share with others.  May the Lord help us all fulfill His Good News mandate!
