In the Great Commission the supreme business of the church in all the ages was clearly and authoritatively spelt out in unmistakale terms by the Lord who, alone, is the Head of the Church. The work of redemption was all accomplished, complete and perfect; what remained was that the Good News concerning it, the Gospel, had to be carried and proclaimed th the ends of the Earth. It is clear from the Lord's own words that the commission he gave to the Apostles was not for them alone, but was intended also for all who would follow them in every succeding generation. This book is a challenge to the Lord's people to heed once again His last words to them and to pray and work as never before, with their confidence solely in Him who promised to be 'with you always, even to the end of the age.'
