quantity of the sowingHe said to them, “Go into all

the world and preach the good news to all creation.”

Great Commission.He told them, “… repentance and forgiveness of sins will be

preached in his name to all

John 20:21 shows Jesus as the model of

the Great Commission. Again Jesus said, “As the Father has sent me, I am

sending you.”

Great Commission“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and

you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and
