Through what is known as The Great Commission, Jesus told his followers to "...go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them...and teaching them to obey everythinng I have commanded you"; and Christians have been working to fulfill this commission for nearly 2,000 years. There was aother commission that Jesus gave one of his first-century disiples; but, sadly, that commission is being minimized by mainstream Christianity today--to its own shame and peril.
