Devo Matthew 28:16-20

Chapter 28
16Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had
told them to go. 17When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.
18Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has
been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and
teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with
you always, to the very end of the age.”

Meditation:
1. The eleven did go to Galilee, and Jesus appeared as promised. He authorized
His disciples to make disciples of all nations, and promised to be with them
(Immanuel) as the divine power, presence, and Wisdom of God until the
close of the age.
2. Why did Jesus tell the disciples that He would be with them to the end of the
age? In what way is Jesus Christ with me today?
3. Consider choosing one of the ways and attempting to be especially sensitive
to Jesus’ presence (Immanuel) with me this week.

Personal Note:
This is the great commission from God.  God called me to make disciples.  For those who received Jesus Christ, believed in his name, he gave the3 right to become children of God (John 1:12).  I receive you gift of salvation.  I believe in your name, you are the son of God who died for me and you are alive and present in my heart as the Holy Spirit.  I do not deserve your love and the identity to be your child.  I receive the right because you love me.

I know you are present with me right now.  I know you are present whether I am in class, in my office, playing sports, hanging out with friends, eating, drinking, sleeping, day dreaming, etc.  You are with me always till the very end of age.
