(Jesus Said,)
“All Authority In Heaven
And On Earth Has Been Given To Me.
Therefore Go And Make Disciples Of All Nations,
Baptizing Them In The Name Of The Father
And Of The Son And Of The Holy Spirit,
And Teaching Them To Obey
Everything I Have Commanded You.
And Surely I Am With You Always,
To The Very End Of The Age.”
MATTHEW 28:18-20
Thoughts About This Verse . . .
Last Words.
The Last Words of a Parent To a Child
Leaving for College.
The Last Words of a Loved One
at the Bedside of someone Dying.
The Last Words of a Friend
Before Moving to a distant place.
These Last Words are Chosen with Care
because they Leave a Lasting Impact.
Jesus’ Last Words are our Marching Orders.
“Go Make Disciples Of All Peoples!”
To do this,
He Emphasized ,
“You Must Go Where They Are,
Baptize Them,
and then Teach Them To Do what I Taught You to do.”
Not hard to understand,
so what are we doing about Obeying Those
Last Commands?
MY PRAYER . . .
Father From whom All Peoples Derive their Hope,
use Your Spirit to Rouse within me
a Passion to Share Your Grace
with All Peoples.
Nudge Me out of my Safety Zone
and Call Me into Your Empowering
and Sacrificial Grace
so that I help others Come To Know You.
Through Jesus I Pray.
Amen.
