An executive of a company I previously worked for always signed
off on his emails with the words “Go, go, go.”
He often did that after giving his approval on a direction the team was
taking. It was his way of saying “Ok, you have my approval and I support your efforts,
now go fast and with a purpose.” In
other words, go get it done! We had been
sent on a mission.
As His church, Jesus is also telling us to go, go, go. In Mark 16:15, he said “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation” and
again in Matthew 28:19 he said “Go
therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” He has given us a mandate of great urgency
and importance to carry out on the earth.
At work, if anyone questioned the task or project we were
working on, we could respond with confidence because of the mandate we were
given and because of the authority and weight behind the person who gave the
mandate.
Likewise, we can go with confidence because our mandate was
given by the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and the whole weight of heaven is
behind us. We carry His approval and
authority with us. Even the kingdom of
darkness can’t stop us because we have been given authority over all the power
of the enemy (Luke 10:19).
So, what are we waiting for? Jesus is saying go, go, go.
