it a 'com-mission'; or a 'mandate' from Christ Jesus.
Our mission is found in Matthew 28:19:20, to witt: "All
authority has been given Christ Jesus; THEREFORE - - GO - - Go make
disciples of people of all nations; Baptize them; TEACH them all
the commands of Jesus."

Jehovah's Witnesses as Christians.
