• In the Gospel according to St. Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus is described as giving this final injunction to his disciples before parting with them: “All authority in heaven and on Earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age.”
The early Christians faithfully followed these words, seeking to convey the Gospel of salvation through Christ to the entire world, even at the risk of their lives. Much of the Christian church, to this day, takes these words very seriously as defining its mission.
The norm in spiritual circles is to not preach to others, but to respect each individual’s beliefs. Was the early church’s task different from ours today?
In this teaching from the Pathwork Guide, the meaning of “spreading the word” is reframed in light of humanity’s evolving consciousness.
While early Christians needed to actively preach new spiritual truths, today growth depends less on outward persuasion and more on inner transformation. True influence now comes from living these teachings authentically, allowing them to shape one’s actions, relationships, and presence in the world.
As individuals develop spiritually, they naturally contribute to a new collective way of being. Rather than convincing others through words, the most powerful expression of truth is embodied living, where inner change becomes a quiet but profound force for transformation.
