Jesus told His disciples to "teach them to observe all that I have commanded you." In Matthew alone there are 256 imperatives from the lips of Jesus. The breadth and depth of Christ's imperatives are enormous-as are the many missional verbs in the Bible. An analysis of the five Great Commissions of Christ unlocks the key to becoming passionate about Jesus.In these pages, Johnston probes every stage in the Great Commission process, from the beginning of Christ's call to "Go!" to the New Testament's 62 "One Another Commands." Plowing new ground in Great Commission studies, Johnston addresses evangelizing and working together with God, a hearing of faith and repentance, persuasion and confession, winning disciples and baptizing them, and teaching and building-all from the standpoint of New Testament Greek verbs.
