Genesis 12:1-3: “Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (ESV).
Matthew 28:19-20: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age” (ESV).
In the first passage, the Lord tells Abram to leave his own people and GO to a different land. Why? So that “all peoples on earth will be blessed.”
In the second passage, the Lord tells the disciples to GO to all nations and teach them everything Christ taught them. God bringing His presence, His kingdom, His redemption, and His blessings to all nations is the storyline throughout Scripture.
