Religious Holidays
I suppose, to paraphrase the old 1970s TV commercial, “It’s not nice to fool with the liturgical calendar.” That doesn’t stop me, though.
I have always looked at today as Great Commission Day: March Forth!
Who would have thought that a bad pun could help me remember something so significant.
The term “Great Commission” is a term that Christians apply to Christ’s final command:
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore 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 behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” –Matt 28:18-20 (ESV)
