"After his crucifixion, burial and resurrection Jesus is seen alive for 40 days. During that time he said many things to prepare his disciples for the challenges that were ahead of them. He knew what they would face and didn’t want to leave them without what they needed to handle it.
The last thing that he said to them is often referred to as the Great Commission. We see it in Matthew 28:19 & 20, Mark 16:15 & 16 and Acts 1:8. This Last Commandment is directly related to the greatest commandment and the new commandment. When a person falls in love they are so excited about it that they can’t keep it to themselves. After spending time with a friend who is in love, although you may not personally know their love interest, you hear so much about them that you feel like you do. Their enthusiasm leads you to a point where you can't help but want to meet them for yourself. It should also be this way with people who, as Jesus said, love God with all their heart and with all their soul and with all their mind. The first motivation for witnessing to others should be our love for God. The second motivation should be our love for others. The Last Commandment involves what this book is about and is best summarized in Acts 1:8 where Jesus says,
But
ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and
ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and
in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
