WHY DID THE GREAT COMMISSION END? DID THE SPIRITUAL GIFTS OF THE MIRACULOUS END ALSO?

(Staying In Touch With Biblical Reality)

Part 4: Remission and Repentance of Sin

Greetings Brethren,

Peace be unto you. There is a blessing in our on-going study and love of the sacred text. Here we find peace. We also find strength to endure. We also find the path to Paradise. Who comes to deny this path?

Peace and Love, Carl Patton a willing slave of Almighty God writing for the FreedomJournal 1 March 2006 in the year of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.

In the name of God, Master of the universe, Ruler of the earth.

As we continue our discussion taken from verse 19 in Matthew 28. We now look to several companion scriptures that reveal a task placed on the Apostles. In Luke 24 verses 44-49 Jesus appears to the Disciples in Jerusalem.

Luke 24:47. “And the repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

The Disciples could not have preached repentance and remission of sins in the name of Christ without all the requirements of this important prophecy.

The phrase “among all nations.” Reveals that Jesus died for the whole world, not just for the Jews. Jerusalem was the capital of the Jewish kingdom it was the model and beginning place but not the capital of the kingdom of Christ.

We now refer you to the Old Testament Book of Isaiah for further scripture references regarding the Gospel being willed by God for all nations, all people, including the Gentiles.

Isaiah 49: 6. (Also see verse 22). “And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

In the beginning of verse 6 we see a reference to Cyrus who was to raise up the tribes of Jacob and restore them to their own land of Palestine. The verse goes on to predict the service of Christ in bringing salvation to all the nations of the earth. We see this when the Gentiles are mentioned that had not been included under the Jewish system.

In verse 22 we see further illustration that under Christ the Gentiles were to be included. They will be invited to come in to a close relationship with the Lord. (See the fulfillment of this in Acts 11: 18).
