Matthew 28:18-20

Then Jesus came to them and 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.” 

Who has the ultimate authority?

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me”

What does he command us to do?

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations…”

Where does our help come from?

“…And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age”

The Creator and Sustainer of heaven and earth has given me the green light.  It’s time for me to GO.  It’s time for me to proclaim Jesus and make disciples.  And I am not alone.  The same God who is telling me to go also promises to be with me always.  And He is faithful.

“I lift my eyes up to the hills; where does my help come from?  My help comes from the LORD; the Maker of heaven and earth.”

God, give me the strength for today, that I might testify without shame and with great confidence.  Use me and teach me today.  AMEN
