Go ... and make disciples of all nations. ...
Matthew 28:19, RSV
"When Jesus said ,"Go ... and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age" (Matt. 28: 19-20, RSV), he wasn't giving a job description for the Christian but saying something about the stance a Christian takes into the world of work. If we don't see how everyday work in some way or another is a response to the command "Go .. and make disciples," we are going to become either very discontented with the meaning and worth of our work, or else very careless and blase about our obedience to Christ."
