Opening Doors
February 17, 2016
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations.
Matthew 28:19
Charlie Sifford is an important name in American sports. He became the first African-American playing member of the Professional Golfers Association (PGA) Tour, joining a sport that, until 1961, had a "whites only" clause in its by-laws. Enduring racial injustice and harassment, Sifford earned his place at the game's highest level, won two tournaments, and in 2004 was the first African-American inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame. Charlie Sifford opened the doors of professional golf for players of all ethnicities.
Opening doors is also a theme at the heart of the gospel mission. Jesus said, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age" (Matt. 28:19-20).
The word nations (v. 19) is from the Greek word ethnos, which is also the source of the word ethnic. In other words, "Go and make disciples of all ethnicities." Jesus' work on the cross opened the way to the Father for everyone.
Now we have the privilege of caring for others as God has cared for us. We can open the door for someone who never dreamed they'd be welcomed personally into the house and family of God.
Lord, help me to be sensitive to others I meet today. Give me the words to tell others about You.
Jesus opened the doors of salvation to all who will believe.
In today's passage Jesus gives what is known as the Great Commission: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you" (Matt. 28:19-20). We carry out this commission when we testify to the death and resurrection of Jesus, who offers forgiveness of sins, and when we teach Christ-followers to obey God's Word (v. 20).

What decade do you belong in?
You belong in the 1960s
Totally mod! You’re a creative person who doesn’t mind change, so you belong in the decade with a lot of social and cultural innovation.

Nifty! So many classic things came out in the 1950s, and you wouldn't change a thing about them. You belong in the decade of Elvis, Eisenhower, and the birth of television.
(Note: I'm old enough to remember much of the Fifties.)

Groovy, man! You're a free thinker just trying to get through this thing called life. You belong in the decade when everyone wanted to give peace a chance.
Farm out, out of state!
I really liked the 60's too!

I always thought I was made to live in the 1770s / 1780s.
Ironic to think those same activities might be required some 235 years later

This should be fun. Haven’t done one in awhile.

The questions don't work for me...
That has long been recurrent theme within my life...where to belong... never seem to fit the choices and categories available on the paperwork.
Like this painting, with the wind driven fog bank on the horizon set contrary to the way the swells are running in the mid-distance
It's all mixed up
