The durable Great Commission and the transitory Not So Great Commission: Pick one

Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them . . . teaching them . . . and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

-- Mt. 28:19f.

Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. . . . for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

-- Mt. 10:5ff., 23
