We greatly underestimate the greatness of the Great Commission.
It feels like we’ve lost ground, and Christians face many trials in our present culture. It’s no wonder so many Christians feel defeated these days – as if things are destined to only get worse and worse without any hope of success of the Gospel in the broader culture. Practically speaking, this has left many Christians discouraged about the prospects of winning the culture and seeing the success of the Gospel in their nation. For many, the mission of the Church to disciple the nations has faded to a lacklustre image of its former glory…
Kenneth Gentry notes, “There is dangerous atrophy in the Body of Christ (the Church) due to chronic retreatism and the more recent onset of acute superficiality. And the recovery of the true strength of the family, the Church, and the State will take both effort and time. Fortunately, the Great Commission, when properly understood, provides us with the strength needed for the effort (“I am with you,” promises the One with “all authority”) and the time necessary to the task (“even to the end of the age”).” (Kenneth Gentry, The Greatness of the Great Commission, p. 160)
Make no mistakes about it – we are in a war. The Christian life is spiritual warfare. He’s given us what we need to mount the offensive to push back the powers of darkness… but we need courage. When we rightly understand our King’s marching orders to us – the Great Commission, it fills us with God-given boldness and courage to face the battle ahead of us.
