What commission has the Savior left us?

Matthew 28:19, 20.

Must we go to faraway lands to fulfill this commission?

Mark 5:18-20

Note: In order to work for Christ, we need not to leave the narrow circle of the home if it is there that our duty lies. In our homes, in the church, among those we meet and do business with, we may carry out the Lord’s commission to make disciples. Jesus Himself spent the greater part of His life here on earth working patiently in the carpenter shop at Nazareth. He was as surely fulfilling His mission going about His humble duties with peasants and fellow workers in Nazareth as He was when healing the sick, working miracles or preaching to the multitudes. So we, too, may walk and work for Jesus in the unnoticed activities of daily life.
