Are you available? Matthew 28:19–20 is known as the Great Commission, where Jesus instructs his followers to make disciples of all nations by baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything He commanded, with the promise of His perpetual presence until the end of the age. This passage outlines the mission for believers: to spread the gospel, baptize new followers, and instruct them in Jesus' teachings, ensuring His presence and support throughout this process.

TWFYT | John 20:21

It suggests that what we see on the outside is less important than a person's heart and soul, and that a person's actions and inner nature are more meaningful than their appearance.
