The Great Commission

The book of Acts, also known as “The Acts of the Apostles,“ serves as a crucial bridge between the Gospels and the Epistles in the New Testament. Written by Luke, the same author of the Gospel of Luke, this historical narrative provides a vivid account of the early Christian church's formation and expansion. Acts 1 sets the stage for the entire book, demonstrating the seamless continuity between Jesus' earthly ministry and the mission of His disciples after His ascension.

At the heart of Jesus' final instructions to His followers lies a powerful mandate: to make disciples who, in turn, make more disciples. This principle of spiritual multiplication is not just a suggestion but a core component of the Christian faith. By examining three key passages—Matthew 28:18-20, 2 Timothy 2:2, and Acts 1:8—we can gain valuable insights into this multiplication mandate and its implications for every believer.
