"Go and baptize in my
name and teach all to obey all I have commanded you!"
Ok now U2 is playing where the streets have no name!
Anyway!
From a ministry site!
Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV)
"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."
Summary Of All The Commandments Of Jesus
This is His one commandment which summarizes all the others:
********************************************************
"This is my commandment,
that you love one another
as I have loved you."
(John 15:12 RSV)
********************************************************
Here is the way He arrived at this one summary verse.
JOHN 15:9-12 (RSV)
_____________________________________________________________
9
As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you; abide in
my love.
10
If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love,
just as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in
his love.
11
These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in
you, and that your joy may be full.
12
This is my commandment, that you love one another as I
have loved you.
_____________________________________________________________
This is not just one more commandment He added to a list. This
one commandment summarizes all the others: "Love one another as
I have loved you." "
NOTE: "Love one another" means "love all people," not just "love
other Christians."
Complete List Of The Commandments Of Jesus
Here, then, is the complete list of all the Commandments which
Jesus taught His disciples to observe, as I have found them
recorded in the four Gospels. They are organized into two
groups: the Universal Moral Law, and the Other Commandments Of
Jesus.
A summary of each commandment is given first, then a detailed
explanation of each one, with Scriptural references.
It is always possible that I have overlooked a commandment or
two. So in order to make sure for yourself, please buy a Bible
with the words of Jesus written in red. Then read the red words
first, and see for yourself! As Jesus said, "the words I speak
to you, they are spirit and they are life." (John 6:63b KJV)
