I Am With You Always - Christocentric (Matthew 28:18-20)
The Great Commission ends not with a task but with a presence: "I am with you always, to the end of the age." This isn't Jesus sending us away; it's Jesus going WITH us. Karl Barth noted that mission is not our movement toward God but our participation in God's movement toward the world. Christ is the missionary; we join His mission. The Commission is Christ-centered from start to finish: His authority sends us, His command directs us, His presence sustains us. We don't go FOR Him; we go WITH Him.
