The Great Commission is found in all four Gospels and in the Book of Acts. John quotes Jesus, saying, “As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” So, the goal Jesus had in fulfilling the Great Commission, of course, should be our goal, too. But also, the way Jesus went about fulfilling the Great Commission ought to be our method, too. At the close of Matthew 9, we find out how to do just that.

We have been called to serve the Lord. To serve Him with gladness, yes, but also to serve Him with toil and with the sweat of our brow. What better model have we ever had than that of the Lord Jesus. He literally gave His all. And we are to follow in His steps.

The Fruit of the Spirit is a single cluster of fruit, like a cluster of grapes with distinct, individual grapes making up that cluster. That means that the Holy Spirit is working this entire cluster in me, not just one or two of those listed. One of those individual distinctives is longsuffering. God treats us with longsuffering, and He expects His people to treat others with longsuffering. The character quality of Longsuffering means that you have a long fuse rather than a short fuse. Rather than blowing up in anger when you are provoked, you are able to show self-restraint. We see that in how God treats us, and we are to treat others that way, too. The only way is supernatural – for the Holy Spirit to produce that quality in you.
