Christ Gives Great Commission
The events in the final two days of
Jesus’ earthly life carry shadows of
the cross: the anointing in Bethany,
the Passover Observance, Lord’s
Supper, the prayer in Gethsemane.
Jesus is arrested, tried, condemned
executed and placed in a tomb. But
in triumph, Jesus comes forth from
the grave in resurrection power.
The Kings of the Jews Lives again,
a message which His followers
are commissioned to share.
Lord, we Affirm Your Commission:
Then the eleven disciples went
into Galilee, to the mountain which
Jesus had appointed for them…
And Jesus came to them and said:
All authority has been given to Me..
Go and make disciples of all the
nations… teaching them to obey
everything I have commanded u;
and lo I am With you Always, even
to the end of the age (Mt 28:16-20)
This gospel of the kingdom will
be preached in all the world as
a witness to all the nations, and
then the end will come They will
see the Son of Man coming on
the clouds of heaven with power
and great glory (Matt 24:14, 30).
Lord, there is no doubt about
the task You had left for us to do.
Help us step out of comfort zone
to find people who need to know U.
Help us witness to those You have
placed in our sphere of influence
in words, deeds and attitudes.
Help us Lord reflect You clearly
as people with fragrance who
has found the answer to life.
Help us be disciples and make disciples. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Lord Jesus, You promise Your
followers that You Will Be With
them Always. Though busyness
and activities often disconnect
me from others, it will never
separate me from You. Your
promise is reliable in a world
where most promises are not.
Thank You Lord for the permanent
nature of Your promise. Amen.
Lord, the signs of the times
including Covid virus pandemic
and the raging war in Ukraine
reminds us we are at end of age.
And the promise of Your coming
again spurs us to evangelism.
We rededicate ourselves to the
service of Christ in submission
to His authority over our lives.
We believe that faith in Christ Jesus
alone brings about salvation; and
we purpose to spread this message
to our friends & loved ones. Amen.
