Embracing Faith Devo #16

Today's devo writer is Pat Rieck and you can read her article by clicking here.

Here are my thoughts:

Our passage for today is the "the Great Commission" passage in Matthew 28:19-20 where Jesus tells the disciples to spread the good news (gospel) to the entire world:
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 28:20 teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20 NET Bible

What a job for this little band of rag-tag, ragamuffin disciples to pull off! Evangelize the world!!! But then Jesus added that little phrase right there at the end, "And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age." Jesus promised his presence to them as they took on this monumental task.

The same commission is valid today for believers in 2008. And the same promise is available as well - Jesus' personal presence. If you want to experience the presence of Jesus today, try sharing the good news with someone.

And he is with us as we embrace faith on a journey to relocate in order to fulfill the Great Commission. Tye out.
