The Great Commission Is Bigger Than Personal Evangelism [Eschatology Matters]

In this episode of The Magistrate, Josh Howard is joined by Alex Kocman to examine Matthew 28:18–20 and Christ’s command to disciple the nations.   They discuss the Greek construction of the Great Commission, the meaning of “all nations,” and the relationship between evangelism, discipleship, the Church, and the civil magistrate.   What does it mean for Christ to possess all authority in heaven and on earth? Are Christians called merely to make individual converts, or does the Great Commission have implications for families, cultures, rulers, and nations?   Josh and Alex also discuss missions, Christian nationalism, ordered loves, household discipleship, and what faithful Christian labor looks like under the universal lordship of Jesus Christ.
