Section 304. Christ appears in Galilee for the last Time.--The Commission of the Apostles.

In his final appearance among the disciples in Galilee (Matt., xxviii., 18), Christ reminded them anew of their calling, viz., to preach the Gospel to all nations; and to admit the men of all nations, by baptism, into his communion and discipleship. And he assured them that all power was given to him, in heaven and in earth, to establish the kingdom of God victoriously; and that he would be with his own, even until the consummation of that kingdom.
