And
then he (Jesus) told them, "Go into all the world and
preach the Good News to everyone. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be
saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. These miraculous
signs will accompany those who believe: They will cast out demons in my name,
and they will speak in new languages. They will be able to handle snakes with
safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won't hurt them. They will be
able to place their hands on the sick, and they will be healed." Mark 16:15-18
As prophesied in Isaiah…
The baby will play safely near the hole of a
cobra. Yes, a little child will put its hand in a nest of deadly snakes without
harm. Isaiah 11:8
Other signs are not obviously mentioned in
the Old Testament—but these are mentioned in the New Testament. Search them out
for yourself. The only other gospel books give the Jesus Great Commission is
the Book of Matthew where at the end of His ministry He tells His disciples…

| Baptism in the Jordan River - Israel |
"I have been given all authority in
heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach
these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of
this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew
28:18-20
Do you consider yourself a disciple…a
follower…of Jesus Christ? Are you making disciples of others, teaching them to
obey Jesus’ commands?
Prayer
~ Lord, I thank you that You have promised to be with us always. Help us to witness in such a way that we would draw others
to You thus enlarging Your church…on earth as it is in heaven…making disciples
for You.
