Summary

Over 3 billion people in the world today have little or no access to the gospel—we refer to them as the unreached. It’s easy to look at this staggering number of unreached people and label it as a missions problem, but this is a problem that actually runs deeper. This is a discipleship problem. In this message from David Platt based on Matthew 28:18–20 and Revelation 7:9–10, David Platt helps us see the massive number of unreached people as a discipleship problem. Every follower of Christ should desire to obey Jesus, and this obedience involves living our lives and using our resources for the sake of making disciples among every people group on the planet. This message was given at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. For more resources from Radical, go to radical.net.

0:51.0	Matthew chapter 28, although I hope you have this passage memorized, and just as a
0:58.1	heads up, I don't intend to do an exposition of this entire passage.
1:04.3	Instead, I intend to focus on three words
1:08.5	and their development over the rest of the New Testament.
1:12.2	And through these words, I hope to lift your eyes
1:16.4	to people in places far from where we are right now in the world,
1:22.2	which is admittedly hard for us to do. For many reasons, one, we have a lot
1:28.7	going on in our lives and our families and just this room. How many of us are walking through something in our lives
1:38.7	or our families right now that's really heavy, maybe even to the point of it's hard to get up on some
1:46.5	moreings. And without going into details, I would just say I'm there.
1:55.0	And then we have a lot going on in our churches and our communities or in school.
2:01.0	How many of us are walking through challenges and school, studies, church, community, that feel overwhelming? I'm guessing that's a lot of us too. Which means it's hard and the day
