The Great Commission refers to the instruction [[Jesus]] gave to his disciples after his [[resurrection]] to go and make disciples of all nations ("make disciples" is the active verb). It is a calling that his disciples followed faithfully, with the spread of the [[gospel]] first through Palestine, and then the Roman Empire, and today, Christians continue to follow in the apostles' footsteps in missionary work in their own home towns and in countries around the world.
The commission from Jesus reminds Christians that his followers have the duty to go, teach, and baptize.
