Jesus Made a Special Promise in the Great Commission
(Matthew 28:19-20)

​Introduction:

         1. These verses record Matthew's account of the Great Commission.
         2. In His Great Commission Jesus gave some important instructions, including:
             a. teaching
             b. baptizing in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
             c. teaching all things that Jesus commanded.
         3. In His Great Commission Jesus also made a special promise.
         4. In our lesson we are concentrating on the Lord's promise.

Discussion:


I.           JESUS  PROMISED  TO  BE  WITH  HIS  FOLLOWERS


         A. Jesus made this promise in the Great Commission (Matthew 28:20b).
         B. Jesus said He would "always" be with His followers.
         C. Jesus is with those who gather together in His name (Matthew 18:20).

II.          THE  LORD'S  FOLLOWERS  ARE  BLESSED  BY  HIS  PRESENCE  IN  VARIOUS  WAYS


         A. Jesus is our "mediator" (1 Timothy 2:5).
             1. A mediator is a go-between, one who mediates between 2 parties to make peace.
             2. To illustrate, Moses served as a mediator between the Israelites and God (Exodus 32:7-14).
             3. Jesus is the "one mediator between God and men."
         B. Jesus is our "intercessor" (Romans 8:34).
             1. An intercessor is one who makes a petition on behalf of someone else.
             2. According to Hebrews 7:25, Jesus "ever liveth to make intercession" for those who "come unto
                 God by Him."

         C. Jesus is our "High Priest" (Hebrews 3:1).
             1. One of the main functions of the High Priest is to offer sacrifices on behalf of the people
                 (Hebrews 8:3).
             2. Jesus offered Himself as a perfect sacrifice once for all (Hebrews 7:26-27; 10:11-14).
             3. As High Priest, Jesus provides special blessings [empathy, mercy, and grace] to His followers
                 (Hebrews 4:14-16).
         D. Jesus is our "advocate" [a counselor, one who pleads the case of someone else] (1 John 2:1-2).

III.         TWO  OF  THE  LORD'S  GREATEST  SERVANTS  SHOW  HOW  HE  IS  WITH  HIS  FOLLOWERS


         A. Stephen knew that Jesus was with him when he was killed (Acts 7:54-60).
         B. Paul knew that Jesus was with him when he was in prison (2 Timothy 4:16-18).

Conclusion:


         1. This morning we studied passages that relate to "revival."
         2. Remembering that the Lord is always with His followers will revive the spirit.
