"...the Great Commission does not begin with the words, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel…” The Great Commission begins with the words, “all authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.” In other words, the Great Commission begins with the Great Announcement. It is only as we grasp what Jesus has accomplished in the Gospel and what that tells us about how willing He is to save the world that we’ll ever be successful or bold in our pursuits of the Great Commission."
