READ
Matthew 28:18-20
18 Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. 19
Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
REFLECT
God gave Jesus authority over all of heaven and on earth. Jesus commanded his disciples then and still today commands us to tell others the Good News and make disciples for His kingdom. We have all received gifts that we can use to help fulfill the great commission. Luckily, we are not alone because He promises to be with us to the end of the age.
