11 - The Subject Satan Hates

Parting words are often significant. Jesus' final words to His disciples are extremely important, even for us today. Jesus was going on a journey, not for a week or two but he was going to be gone from them for the rest of their lives. They would not see His physical presence again on earth.
They wouldn't see Him again until He came in the clouds of heaven at His second coming. He'd be gone for the rest of their earthly life. And just before He left, just before He ascended to heaven, His final words, as recorded in the gospel of Matthew, speak to the subject we're covering in this presentation.
"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." Matthew 28:18-20
Baptism certainly must be vitally important since Jesus Himself used His last parting words to commission His disciples to go forth and baptize.
