As You Go

October 25, 2025

The Evangelism seminar started a couple of nights ago. It’s a blessing for us to deeply study God’s Word and the topics that started the movement to prepare for the second coming of Jesus Christ.

A few days ago, I was reading a post from an Adventist pastor in Tennessee, Daniel Jeon, and he has this page called ‘Jeology, the study of Jesus.’ He wrote about the Great Commission, and here is a part of it:

In the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18–20, most English Bibles translate Jesus’ words as, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” But when we look closer at the original Greek, we see something important. The word “go” (πορευθέντες, poreuthentes) is not a command. It’s a participle—meaning “as you go.” The only direct command in the entire Great Commission is “make disciples” (μαθητεύσατε, matheteusate).

What this means is that the act of making disciples and preaching the good news of Jesus is something that should be done naturally in our daily lives. It’s not limited to specific events or certain occasions, but proclaiming the love of Jesus and leading others to Jesus is something that we should do naturally all the time ‘as you go.’ All church members and followers of Jesus are disciple makers by living out the life of Christ, at school, at workplaces, at market places, wherever you are. Thank you to our church family for being the living evangelists. May you reflect the character of Christ wherever you are.
