Write a 300 word essay to discuss how the early church began to fulfill the great commission. describe this command (matthew 28: 19-20) in your own words. show examples from acts that demonstrate how the apostles fulfilled it. consider ways in which people are fulfilling the great commission.

Christ’s Great Commission in Matthew 28:16-20 is most often coupled with an appeal for individual Christians to consider their calling to go into the world as missionaries. While it is certainly a text that every follower of Christ ought to meditate upon and apply, it would seem that a primarily individualistic application of this command is more a product of Western culture than from a natural reading of the text. According to verse 16, it was the eleven disciples who were the original hearers of the command. The apostles were more than individuals seeking to privately obey Christ’s teachings. These men stood as founders and leaders of the Church that would be established and multiplied through their testimony and the power of the Holy Spirit. It was understood that every member of the church would be taught to obey everything that the Lord commanded, including the command to make disciples of all nations.
