The Lord's command to go and make disciples, is His direct invitation to join Him in what He is doing. It is a call to action. Christ is saying: "Let's go, we have work to do and it is urgent.Join Me". It is a call to be His partner.
To follow Christ is not just to stand by looking at the sky and casually waiting for His return. Rather, it is to go about the Master's business of carrying the "Good News" to the ends of the earth - to usher His Kingdom on earth.
When Christ returns, it will be to complete the work we, his followers, have begun in His name. He will then make whole, that which we have accomplished only in part.
Christ's mission is our mission. The Gospel is born out of God's love for us and our love for Him. That love, when demonstrated to the world through acts of kindness, compassion and justice, is revolutionary.
When we become the agents of that love, we make credible the message of our Savior, Who transform men and women for eternity.
