 Reverend Ron Craig
Notice that in Matthew 28:20, Jesus promised to be with His followers all the days (literal Greek) all the way to the end of this age (which is not over yet). That has to mean that whatever He both commanded them and promised them should continue (as far as Christ was concerned) until His Second Coming. And, Mark 16:15-20 reinforces His command, (“Go into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature.”), as well as His promise to be personally with them, as they obeyed His command, (“They went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the Word with [supernatural] signs following.”) What were some of those signs? Continue reading Bro. Ron Craig: “With Signs Following”

 Reverend Ron Craig
The best way to understand why God is not personally righting wrongs and fixing the world’s problems today is to realize that He has commissioned others to do those things. To discover what may, or may not, be done regarding world problems, we must consider our Savior’s last words to His followers just before He ascended back to heaven. Matthew 28:18-20 is a good place to start. There, Jesus said, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. You go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations: Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you: And behold, I am with you all of the days, even to the end of the age.” This is a literal rendering of that passage. Let us analyze it. Jesus Christ delegated the same authority to His followers (not just the twelve apostles) that had been given Him both in heaven and on earth. All authority in heaven and on this planet. That is a lot of authority! So why would God come to earth to accomplish the tasks He has commanded His Christian followers to do? Matthew 28:18-20 is just packed with clear instructions for the modern church. You see, when Jesus commanded to make disciples of all nations,
