The Great Commission

Luke 24:44-48 NIV says, “He said to them, "This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms." Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, "This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.”
Jesus reminds his Disciples that everything that had occurred had been discussed by him. His life has been a fulfillment of Scripture. "Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.” The Bible is a book on Jesus' life and mission. Then Jesus opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures and understand God’s plan for their life.
Then in Matthew 28:18-20 NIV it it tells us,
“Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."”
Salvation is found in no one else but Jesus, and God has a perfect plan for our life if we will only accept Jesus as our Savior.
